Aan alternative fuel in the transportation sector. The Methanol Institute the trade association for the global methanol industry defines green or renewable methanol as a very low carbon liquid chemical and fuel made from sustainable biomass often referred to as biomethanol or from carbon dioxide. of captured carbon and hydrogen produced with renewable electricity called emethanol. The main difference between conventional and green methanol is the energy used in the production process.

Instead of using fossil fuels such as natural gas or coal green methanol is generated from the capture of CO molecules or through sustainable energy sources. Thanks to the increase in affordable renewable energy methanol can be obtained from wind or solar geothermal or hydroelectric energy which significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions says Thore Lohmann CEO of the Fertilizers unit. and Methanol from the Thyssenkrupp industrial group. According to the International Council on Clean Transportation ICCT there Graphics Design Service are four types of methanol Gray methanol derived from natural gas. Blue methanol derived from natural gas combined with carbon capture and storage. Biomethanol obtained from sustainable biomass sources green methanol. electricity and captured carbon dioxide green methanol. The production of green methanol can be carried out through different innovative processes. According to the energy multinational Siemens Energy the production process of emethanol is based on the chemical combination of CO and hydrogen . First hydrogen is produced in an electrolyzer.





The hydrogen is then converted to methanol in a reactor through carbon dioxide CO catalysis. To make emethanol carbon neutral hydrogen from renewable electricity is used combined with biogenic CO . Green methanol could play an important role in the transition towards more sustainable logistics . Renewable methanol has great potential to help decarbonize the transportation sector . It can reduce CO emissions by up to nitrogen oxide NOx emissions by up to and completely eliminate sulfur oxide SOx.
