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

Green Car Congress

The technology heats the process using green electricity from wind turbines or solar panels instead of natural gas. The demonstration plant will be located at Aarhus University’s research facility in Foulum, Denmark, and receives funding from EUDP (Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Program).

Letter from Copenhagen

Revenge of the Electric Car

Two weeks in on a trip to Denmark and my perspective on weather and transportation had shifted. Sure, an electric car would be nice, but that would have been last Sunday, when the nearly 80 electric vehicles in a “CO2 Race&# combed the streets of Copenhagen. But what I really wanted was…a bicycle.
