Exploiting electricity market dynamics using flexible electrolysis units for retrofitting methanol synthesis

Abstract

We investigate the economic viability of integrating flexible electrolysis units to produce hydrogen in methanol synthesis processes. Specifically, we investigate whether this approach can help reduce methanol production costs by...

Integrating climate policies in the sustainability analysis of green chemicals

“…7,18 Moreover, green methanol could be produced using the reverse water–gas shift reaction, transforming captured CO 2 into CO and also utilising low-carbon hydrogen. 6 The strong reliance of these routes on low-carbon electricity to produce hydrogen suggests that they could benefit substantially from the increasing penetration of renewable energy in the future electricity mix, 19,20 yet the specific extent to which they will improve remains unknown.…”
