Methanol Generation

Book cover Methanol: The Basic Chemical and Energy Feedstock of the Future

Abstract

Methanol can be generated from a wide range of carbon and hydrogen sources. Currently, large-scale production is dominated by the conversion of fossil resources, mainly natural gas and coal, to carbon monoxide and hydrogen (synthesis gas) as the intermediate for catalytic methanol synthesis. Although they are not yet economically competitive, more ecologically friendly processes have been attempted using regenerative carbon and hydrogen sources such as biomass, (recycled) CO2, and hydrogen from electrolysis using regenerative power sources.
