Methanol is recognized as a clean, efficient, and low-carbon liquid fuel, increasingly important in the transportation and heating sectors. In recent years, methanol's role as an energy source has grown, expanding its use in the thermal fuel sector and offering new avenues for low-carbon energy transition in line with China's carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals.
eMethanol is produced by combining captured biogenic carbon dioxide with hydrogen derived from renewable electricity. The CO2 is stored within the eMethanol fuel and released upon combustion. The waste CO2 generated during recovery can be used to produce more renewable fuel, replacing fossil fuels and preventing new CO2 emissions.
Main Solutions
E-Methanol
Biomass Methanol
The production process of E-Methanol involves using electrical energy to catalytically reduce carbon dioxide and water to produce high-purity methanol without relying on traditional petroleum refining. This unique preparation method makes E-Methanol a green and sustainable liquid fuel, providing unprecedented opportunities to achieve energy transformation and build a low-carbon society.
By adopting biomass methanol technology, we can achieve sustainable utilization of biomass resources, mitigate dependence on traditional fossil fuels, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and make positive contributions to climate change and sustainable energy development. The development of this technology not only promotes innovation in the energy industry, but also provides important support for building a cleaner and more sustainable energy future.
Applications of Methanol
Transportation Fuel
Green methanol can be used as a clean-burning fuel for various modes of transportation, including cars, buses, trucks, ships, and airplanes. It has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution compared to traditional fossil fuels.
Chemical Industry
Green methanol serves as a valuable chemical feedstock for various chemical processes, including the production of plastics, solvents, adhesives, and synthetic materials.
Renewable Energy Storage
Methanol can be used as a means of storing renewable energy. Through methanol synthesis using renewable hydrogen and captured CO2, excess renewable energy can be stored as methanol and later used for electricity generation when needed.
Power Generation
Green methanol can be utilized in fuel cells or conventional internal combustion engines to generate electricity for stationary power applications, such as backup generators or distributed power systems.
Industrial Heating
Methanol can be used as a fuel for industrial heating applications, replacing traditional fossil fuels like natural gas or coal, leading to reduced carbon emissions.
Hydrogen Carrier
Methanol can serve as a safe and efficient carrier for hydrogen, as it contains a high percentage of hydrogen by weight. It can be easier to transport and store than gaseous hydrogen.
Frequently asked questions
What is Methanol?
Methanol is a vital chemical raw material with a significant role in the chemical industry. It is also recognized as a clean, efficient, and low-carbon liquid fuel, increasingly important in the transportation and heating sectors.
What is Green Methanol?
Green methanol is produced by using renewable energy sources, such as solar power, to generate electricity for water electrolysis to produce hydrogen. This hydrogen is then combined with carbon dioxide to synthesize methanol, creating a green liquid fuel that is easy to store and transport.
What are the Advantages of "Liquid Sunshine" Technology?
There are two major challenges in energy utilization: converting renewable energy into green energy and transforming renewable energy into storable and transportable liquid fuels. "Liquid Sunshine" technology offers a new strategy and technical approach to address both challenges simultaneously.
What Challenges Remain for Commercial Development of Methanol Hydrogen Storage Technology?
Currently, the cost of renewable energy remains relatively high. Before achieving large-scale development, the cost of synthesizing methanol is slightly higher than that of methanol synthesized from inexpensive coal chemicals.
What are the Principles and Advantages of the "Liquid Sunshine" Technology Route?
The principle behind "Liquid Sunshine" technology involves converting hydrogen energy, derived from green hydrogen, into liquid fuel methanol, utilizing renewable energy sources like solar power. This process essentially involves a chain reaction from renewable energy to hydrogen and then to methanol.
"Liquid Sunshine" is derived from green hydrogen, offering a significantly higher hydrogen storage capacity compared to high-pressure gaseous hydrogen and liquid hydrogen. This makes it easier to store and transport, facilitating long-term storage and safe transportation of hydrogen gas. Consequently, it effectively alleviates safety concerns, presenting a significant advantage of green methanol.
