Green Methanol Production System

Product Overview

The green methanol system is an advanced solution that produces methanol using renewable electricity and captured bio-based CO₂. The resulting methanol is a clean, efficient, and low-carbon liquid fuel.

During production, CO₂ reacts with hydrogen through an electrocatalytic reduction process to generate high-purity methanol. The CO₂ released during combustion can be captured and reused for new methanol production, enabling a closed-loop carbon cycle.

This system provides a sustainable energy solution for transportation, industrial heating, and energy storage, supporting carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals.

Working Principle

The system is based on electrocatalytic CO₂ reduction. Captured CO₂ reacts with hydrogen generated from renewable electricity in the presence of catalysts to produce methanol.

High-efficiency reactors ensure thorough mixing and high conversion rates, while separation modules extract high-purity methanol and recycle unreacted gases, maximizing energy efficiency. The process does not rely on conventional petroleum refining, fully utilizes renewable energy, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and enables low-carbon production.
