CRI awarded €1.8M EU grant to scale CO2-to-methanol technology

Green Car Congress

CO 2 capture and clean-up: Waste gases are captured from the points of emission at the stack and transferred to the gas conditioning system where impurities are removed to produce CO 2 suitable for downstream methanol synthesis. Compression: Reaction gas is prepared by mixing H 2 and CO 2. CO 2 is readily available.
