SubsidieMeestersProduction of sustainable methanol as raw material for chemical products by first-of-a-kind Carbon Capture and Utilization process integrated with world scale electrolysis unit
Project Air aims to enable carbon neutrality in the European chemicals industry by producing sustainable methanol through innovative carbon capture and utilization, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Project Air, coordinated by Perstorp Group and its partner Uniper, is a critical enabler for the European chemicals industry to become carbon neutral.
Impact on Industrial Value Chains
This initiative has far-reaching effects throughout many industrial value chains and contributes to ending Europe’s dependence on imported fossil fuels.
Technology Overview
A combination of carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) processes is employed to convert CO2, residue streams, renewable hydrogen, and biomethane. This innovative approach is used to create the first-of-a-kind, large-scale production of sustainable methanol.
Environmental Benefits
The project is expected to lead to a relative decrease of 123% in greenhouse gas emissions avoidance in comparison with conventional methanol synthesis.
