Description
Summary:Abstract Within the energy transition and decarbonization of the industrial sector, one of the main challenges is identifying competitive solutions to capture CO 2 from chemical and energy plants to reduce emissions. The reduction of the carbon footprint as well as the valorization of CO 2 ‐rich gases are of increasing interest for many industries and methanol is a perfect fit for energy storage, for producing clean fuels, and as building block for producing high value chemicals. In this article, an update of recent developments by Air Liquide Engineering & Construction regarding methanol technology is provided, focusing on CO 2 reduction of large‐scale plants and on new solutions for CO 2 utilization. For large‐scale methanol plants, drop‐in solutions using carbon capture technologies can be proposed to dramatically decrease the CO 2 emissions.
