Methanol Concept

Our Sustainable Methanol concept offers a relatively simple, reliable, flexible and efficient solution for converting (surplus) renewable energy into green platform chemicals and e-fuels. Additionally, the resulting product provides a safe and effective option for energy storage. 

The concept uses hydrogen (made with green electricity) and carbon dioxide as input materials. The required CO2 can be obtained at any location from air, using Direct Air Capture (DAC) or captured from a biogas plant or industrial waste stream. Brusche Process Technology can also provide the technology for DAC, Carbon Capture and Liquefaction. 

The perfect product-market fit: the production from green electricity from wind and solar sources is steadily rising. This growth is putting strain on the electricity grid, leading to temporary shutdowns of wind turbines and solar farms, to prevent overloading. This underscores the urgent need for a safe, reliable, flexible, transportable and efficient storage solution. Producing methanol close to these renewable sources enables effective management of seasonal and intermittent fluctuations in energy production.
