Carbon Recycling International and Johnson Matthey collaborate on sustainable methanol

Green Car Congress

Conventional methanol production involves fossil feedstocks such as natural gas or coal. Methanol manufactured with CRI’s ETL process using JM catalysts provides an effective route to sustainable methanol from CO 2. The crude methanol is separated into methanol at the required purity/quality and water in distillation columns.

reduced by 100% fossil-free hydrogen instead of coal and coke, with good results. The hydrogen gas used in the direct reduction process is produced by electrolysis of water with fossil-free electricity, and can be used directly or stored for later use. We’ll be converting to electric arc furnace in Oxelösund as early as 2025.
