Danish team electrifies steam-methane reforming for greener approach to hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

Researchers from the Technical University of Denmark and Haldor Topsoe, with colleagues from the Danish Technological Institute and Sintex have developed a “ disruptive approach to a fundamental process ” by integrating an electrically heated catalytic structure directly into a steam-methane–reforming (SMR) reactor for hydrogen production.

Topsoe to build demonstration plant to produce cost-competitive CO2-neutral methanol from biogas and green electricity

Green Car Congress

The eSMR Methanol technology exploits the full carbon potential of biogas by utilizing the 40% CO 2 content which is routinely separated and vented today.

Topsoe puts eSMR demonstration plant into operation for production of sustainable methanol from biogas

Green Car Congress

ton CO 2 being emitted per produced ton methanol, the emission reduction potential is enormous, assuming all methanol is being produced by means of a carbon-neutral process and sustainable feedstock. With this initiative, we will demonstrate that we are able to transform classical production process into a fully carbon-neutral scheme.

European power-to-methane company Electrochaea opens California subsidiary

Green Car Congress

The archaea exhibit several unique properties including high mass conversion efficiency, tolerance to many contaminants typically found in industrial CO 2 -sources (oxygen, hydrogen sulfide, particulates), high selectivity in methane production, and very fast reaction kinetics that enable scale-up to commercial application.
