What is E-Methanol?

KAPSOM makes full use of renewable energy, such as solar and wind energy, to perform water electrolysis to generate environmentally friendly green hydrogen. Subsequently, electronic methanol was successfully synthesized by catalytically reacting this green hydrogen with carbon dioxide. This advanced preparation process not only significantly reduces reliance on traditional fossil fuels, but also effectively reduces the overall carbon footprint by using renewable energy. It is worth mentioning that the preparation of KAPSOM electronic methanol has excellent flexibility and can be applied to various scales and energy supply needs, from small distributed systems to large-scale industrial production, showing a wide range of applicability.

World’s First Large-Scale Commercial Green Methanol Plant Supplied by KAPSOM

In June 2022, KAPSOM reached an agreement with a European company to undertake a green methanol project with an annual output of 50,000 tons. Renewable energy is used to decompose water to produce green hydrogen, and then methanol will be produced by adding green hydrogen to carbon dioxide. After the completion of the entire project, it will not only reduce carbon emissions, but also produce green and low-carbon fuels, greatly reduce the air pollution of enterprises and fully realize the high-value comprehensive utilization of resources.

KAPSOM and PGC Sign MOU for 20,000TPA Green Methanol Project

In 2023, KAPSOM established a strategic partnership with Asia’sPGC New Energy Enterprises. The project aims to achieve an annual production target of 20,000 tons of green methanol through the use of plasma technology and green methanol processes. By integrating biomass green methanol production technology, plasma carbon conversion technology to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and green hydrogen production technology via water electrolysis, this project is set to become a commercial exemplar in CCU (Carbon Capture and Utilization) operations, contributing to global carbon neutrality.

Carbon Capture and Utilization

As a pioneer in green energy, e-methanol technology is not only committed to producing clean and renewable fuels, but also plays an important role in carbon capture and utilization (CCU). This technology uses innovative methods in the electronic methanol production process to effectively capture carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and then convert it into high value-added products to achieve sustainable utilization of carbon resources.

Carbon capture reduces greenhouse gas emissions by capturing carbon dioxide in exhaust gases during the production process and preventing it from being released into the atmosphere. Carbon utilization converts captured carbon dioxide into useful chemicals or fuels, enabling waste reuse and reducing the demand for traditional petrochemical resources.

E-Methanol’s carbon capture and utilization technology emphasizes innovation and sustainability. By integrating advanced catalysts and efficient reaction engineering, we are able to efficiently convert captured carbon dioxide into methanol while maintaining high product purity and quality.

This integrated approach to carbon capture and utilization not only helps reduce the environmental impact of the electronic methanol production process, but also provides a feasible technical path to achieve carbon neutrality and circular economy. Through continuous innovation, the development of electronic methanol technology in the field of carbon capture and utilization will continue to promote the progress of clean energy and contribute to a sustainable future.

Utilization of Renewable Electricity

The electronic methanol production process focuses on the full utilization of renewable energy, especially renewable electricity. We are committed to building a green and clean production ecosystem, using electricity from renewable energy sources such as solar energy and wind energy to provide sustainable power for the preparation of electronic methanol.

In the process, we capture nature’s abundant energy resources through advanced solar photovoltaic and wind power generation systems. The application of this renewable electricity aims to reduce the carbon footprint of overall production and reduce reliance on traditional electricity sources, thereby promoting the sustainable development of clean energy.

Direct Conversion

Electronic methanol technology is unique in the energy sector and is unique in that it enables a direct energy conversion process. Through advanced electrolysis and catalysis technology, we are able to directly convert renewable electricity and carbon dioxide into high-purity electronic methanol without going through tedious intermediate steps.

In the direct conversion of e-methanol, renewable electricity is used for the electrolysis of water to produce green hydrogen. Subsequently, this green hydrogen and carbon dioxide are directly converted into electronic methanol through an efficient catalytic reaction. This process is direct and efficient, greatly simplifying the complexity of energy conversion, while reducing energy loss and improving overall efficiency.
