A PROVEN CARBON UTILISATION SOLUTION
What we do
Industries
We enable companies to operate more sustainably by using hydrogen to convert CO₂ emissions into methanol. This process delivers a certified-sustainable fuel to industries such as marine and aviation and produces a green building block for chemical derivatives.
Sustainable methanol can help:
Industrial emitters that are looking to generate value from emissions, while improving the sustainability of their operations.
Producers of hydrogen that are looking for a value-added and sustainable use in an attractive market.
Renewable energy companies that have load variations or are looking to transport or store energy over long and short periods of time.
Consumers and potential consumers of methanol - as chemical feedstock or marine, aviation or automotive fuel.
Services
Our partners select from our Services to meet their needs. At early project stages, CRI typically provides detailed technical/financial studies leveraging our expertise in carbon capture and utilization, as well as in-depth project development expertise and support. When the project goes ahead, we can provide 'technology only', full project execution, and even project co-development. After start-up, our Services include lifetime technical and operational support
Company's story
Using CO₂ to produce green methanol can provide huge environmental benefits and there are significant technical
advantages inherent in our process, as a result of CRI’s expertise and innovations.
EFFICIENT CONVERSION
- Precise adjustment of CO₂:H₂ without reforming equipment
- Surplus streams eliminated
- Low by-product formation
- Reduced energy consumption
- No additional CO₂ emissions
LOAD FOLLOWING CAPABILITY
- Provides important energy storage capability to the grid
- Dynamically adjusts to availability of electricity or hydrogen
- High turndown and operational flexibility
- Enables project viability using highly variable renewable electricity sources
SYSTEM SCALABILITY
- No dependence on scarce natural resources
- Faster times to market
- Higher replicability – lower scaling costs
- Single standardised reactor design
- Accommodates different feedstock availability
- Simple logistics, easy to install – modular skid-based equipment
- Workshop fabricated ensuring process equipment quality
HETEROGENOUS RAW MATERIAL SOURCES
- Tailorable to suit different feedstock availability and calibres: e.g. manufacturing or power generation
- Deployable at all sites emitting CO₂ and/or H₂ offgas
- Adaptable to different sources of CO₂ and H₂
SMALL ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT
- Zero impact on food chain or land use
- Continuous operation with reduced risk of unstable reaction conditions
- Less toxic gas mixture compared to conventional syngas
- Main by-products are oxygen and water.
Our proven and patented ETL technology is the most efficient CO₂ to methanol synthesis process available in today’s carbon capture and utilization market. Our technology, services, and project development know-how enable our partners to produce sustainable methanol from carbon dioxide and hydrogen, at lower capital and operating cost than any other option on the market.
We are realising commercially-viable projects that contribute to decarbonisation on a global scale, supporting a renewable methanol market that is forecast to reach 400 million tonnes per year by 2050.
