“…It is a promising route to produce low-C fuels, although it has not already earned an industrial scale because of economic reasons. 30,31 Since 2009, the methanol installed production capacity ( 100 million tons/year) is rising around 10% annually, and only 2% utilize CO 2 as feedstock. 32,33 The main reactions involved in this process are three: CO 2 and CO hydrogenation to methanol and the Reverse Water Gas Shift (RWGS) reaction, as reported in equations (1), (2) and 3…”

“…The carbon footprint is the maximum element of control of whether a generated process is sustainable. Buildings can be measured to confirm the carbon footprint they generate during their lifetime Qin et al [55], even during their end-of-life stage for subsequent recycling Thormark [56]. Regulations are becoming increasingly stringent in the field of construction, even if the measurement systems for these processes are not yet optimally developed Bribián et al [57] Tronchin and Fabbri [58].…”

The current computer technology facilitates the processing of large volumes of information in architectural design teams, in parallel with recent advances in-flight automation in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) along with lower costs, facilitates their use to capture aerial photographs and obtain orthophotographs and 3D models of relief and terrain textures. With these technologies, 3D models can be produced that allow different geometric configurations of the distribution of construction elements on the ground to be analyzed. This article presents the process of implementation in a terrain integrated into the early stages of architectural design. A methodology is proposed that covers the detailed capture of terrain, the relationship with the architectural design environment, and its implementation on the plot. As a novelty, an inverse perspective to the remaining disciplines is presented, from the inside of the object to the outside. The proposed methodology for the use of UAVs integrates terrain capture, generation of the 3D mesh, superimposition of environmental realities and architectural design using building information modeling (BIM) technologies. In addition, it represents the beginning of a line of research on the implementation of the plot and the layout of foundations using UAVs. The results obtained in the study carried out in three different projects comparing traditional technologies with the integration of UAVs + BIM show a clear improvement in the second option. The use of new technologies applied to the execution and control of work not only improves accuracy but also reduces errors and saves time, which undoubtedly indicates significant savings in costs and deviations in the project.

“…Qin et al have calculated a CO 2 equivalent of 2.97 t CO2,eq t CH3OH −1 based on a cradle‐to‐gate life cycle assessment (LCA) of a coal‐based methanol production plant in China . For a NG‐based process the according CO 2 equivalent amounts to 0.85 t CO2,eq t CH3OH −1 .…”

Worldwide production capacities of carbon‐based chemicals and associated products are steadily increasing. At the same time the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide is of paramount importance in order to mitigate the anthropogenic impact of climate change. In Carbon2Chem® a cross industrial network develops concepts towards the utilization of steel mill gases for the sustainable production of “green” base chemicals, including methanol. This Review describes the technological challenges emerging from the use of these alternative feedstocks, specifically in the context of methanol production processes.
