Researchers at West Virginia University have taken the first steps toward developing technology that can capture carbon dioxide in the air and use it for ecofriendly manufacturing of methanol. The process they have begun modeling — which involves pulling air from buildings — could increase the sustainable supply of methanol, one of the world's most extensively used raw materials, while ...

How is Methanol Produced? While today we produce methanol from natural gas, methanol can also be made from renewable sources, such as renewable natural gas, biomass and green hydrogen combined with recycled carbon dioxide. Methanex is studying the feasibility of converting our existing assets to produce lowercarbon intensity methanol. We are committed to pursuing opportunities [.]
Energies 2020, 13, 6421 3 of 21 with the methanol synthesis process. VanDal et al. [18] designed and simulated the conversion of CO2 and H2 to methanol using Aspen Plus. They proposed to capture CO2 from a coal fired power plant and produce H2 from the water electrolysis. Their results showed that ton of CO2 can be abated per ton of methanol production.
The coalbased process releases about kg CO 2 /kg methanol, and the natural gasbased process releases about kg CO 2 /kg methanol (Galindo Cifre and Badr, 2007, Rivarolo et al., 2016). Production of methanol from renewable sources reduces the intensity of fossil fuels as the main feed and also helps in mitigating CO 2 emissions ...
methanol (CH 3 OH), the simplest of a long series of organic compounds called alcohols, consisting of a methyl group (CH 3) linked with a hydroxy group (OH). Methanol was formerly produced by the destructive distillation of wood. The modern method of preparing methanol is based on the direct combination of carbon monoxide gas and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst.
Therefore, for the coaltoSNG/methanol polygeneration process, this paper explores the interactions between the polygeneration process design and carbon emissions by using lifecycle assessment method, and evaluates the environmental impact potential of the process. The fluctuations of industrial parameters are also simulated using Monte Carlo ...
