Icelandic tech firm Carbon Recycling International (CRI) has delivered the “largest of its kind” reactor for the 170,000 tonne-per-year (tpa) green hydrogen-based e-methanol plant in Liaoyuan, Jilin Province, China.
CRI said the system, based on its “emissions-to-liquid (EtL)” technology, is expected to be online at the facility run by Tianying Group by the end of the year.
CRI’s reactor will combine green hydrogen, from a yet unspecified source, with captured carbon dioxide (CO2) to produce e-methanol, a molecule with expanding uses in shipping, chemicals, and industrial manufacturing.
The installation adds to two Chinese projects using the firm’s technology, including a 110,000tpa plant in Anyang City, Henan Province, commissioned in October 2022 and billed as the “first commercial scale” EtL plant.
The firm is targeting continued technology deployments to support renewable fuel and chemical production.
Methanol is widely used in chemical and pharmaceutical markets, as well as plastic, resin, and solvent production. E-methanol is also being viewed as a potential future shipping fuel.
Last week, Japan’s Mitsubishi Gas Chemical signed a per annum e-methanol offtake agreement with Indian-based Acme Group.
