“…However, despite all of this, the noble-metal-based catalysts are much costlier than metal-based catalysts, i.e., CZA, and do not fit commercial bulk-scale methanol production. The CZA catalyst is rather considered the most economical catalyst for industrial synthesis. − ZSM-5 zeolite and H-ZSM-5 have been used for vapor-phase methanol conversion to DME …”

“…All steps, excluding the gasification process, are primarily dependent upon the type of catalyst, as already described in a previous section. A copper–zinc catalyst with a thermally stable support of alumina developed by ICI has been widely adapted commercially for the production of methanol and DME using syngas , and/or using a novel catalyst, i.e., H-ZSM and others . Catalysts have the tendency to be poisoned as a result of extreme sensitivity to copper.…”

Alternative energy, especially liquid fuel, i.e., methanol and dimethyl ether (DME), is considered a clean and low-carbon energy source. Among several applications, methanol is used as transportation fuel, an additive with conventional petroleum products, a solvent, a feedstock for specialty chemicals, etc. Methanol can be converted to DME by catalytic dehydration into fuel for heavy turbines, rockets, etc. Therefore, methanol and DME are considered the most promising energy carriers and the main competitors to hydrogen and other petroleum-based products. Because of the increasing demand for cleaner and sustainable energy fuel, many technologies using different feedstocks (including coal, natural gas, CO 2 , and biomass-derived syngas) have been developed over the years for the production of methanol and DME. Methanol production on an industrial scale to date is mostly based on coal and natural gases. However, reducing the dependence upon non-renewable sources and increasing large-scale methanol production using biomass-derived syngas are the most important topics nowadays. In the present study, the recent advances in the development of production processes of methanol and DME using syngas are thoroughly reviewed, considering reaction chemistry, kinetic aspects, and heat and mass transfer rates. Further, the state-of-the-art experimental and computational fluid dynamics characterization techniques involved in design and scale-up and process intensification in slurry reactor technology for liquid-phase methanol synthesis are reviewed. Finally, an attempt is made to give a detailed review based on recent literature to find an advanced, cost-effective, and efficient process for biomass-derived syngas conversion into methanol and DME with future research and development perspectives.

The production of fertilizers has been evolving steadily in the last 300 years. It involves a high number of commodities and reagents that share a large portion of the costs and emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs), particularly carbon dioxide (CO2). Phosphorus, nitrogen, and potassium fertilizers components represent more than 200 million tonnes of production annually. Given that most of the fertilizer production process is dependent on fossil fuels as fuel and feedstock, the amount of CO2 generated is at least 3 tonnes CO2 per tonne of fertilizer. The introduction, in the future, of less intensive carbon technological components and lower energy-consuming separation and catalytic technologies in the fertilizers industry has the potential to reduce CO2 emissions drastically. In this review, we thoroughly analyze the GHG emissions of the fertilizers industry over time and explore pathways to achieve viable and sustainable decarbonization solutions. In the review, we also aim to explore, whenever information is available, the factors (sources) and the ranges of GHG emissions in the different value chains of fertilizer plants. As a result, an overview of the literature on GHG emissions from synthetic fertilizers (N, P, K) industries will be given. More emphasis is on emissions that stem from the extraction of raw materials to final fertilizer products (energy source, efficiency, and fertilizer type) and transportation of intermediates within different sites of the plants (vehicle type, fuel type, and efficiency). A perspective analysis on possible recommendations for future net-zero carbon emissions and carbon capture technologies is also made.

“…In this regard, great attention is paid to hydrogen energy, which on the one hand will be used as energy storage [7,8], and in the production of hydrogen, for example, by biomass conversion can be considered as a renewable energy source [9,10]. In this regard, the adoption of strategies for the development of hydrogen energy by the world's leading powers is seen as an important step towards reducing the consumption of fossil carbonaceous raw materials (so-called decarbonization of the world economy) [11][12][13][14][15].…”

The deteriorating environmental situation has stimulated the world community to develop research related to the decarbonization of the economy and hydrogen energy. These two areas are essentially focused on membrane technologies, which play a crucial role in solving key tasks for these areas. This review is devoted to this research. The first part describes various membrane technologies aimed at capturing CO 2 from the most common gas mixtures, primarily containing nitrogen, methane, and hydrogen. In recent years, studies related to the amine purification of CO 2 , including membrane technologies, and the use of porous membranes filled with ionic liquids has also been intensively developed. Electromembrane technologies are also being developed that allow not only capture of CO 2 but also to process it into fuel or valuable chemicals. The course taken by several developed countries, including Russia, for the development of hydrogen energy includes the production, purification of hydrogen, and its conversion into energy. It should be noted that membrane technologies are fundamentally important for the development of each of these areas. Thus, the evolution of hydrogen is possible with the use of polymer membranes, and for deep purification and production of high-purity hydrogen by membrane catalysis; membranes based on palladium alloys are used. Finally, fuel cells are developed to produce energy from hydrogen, the most important part of which are proton or oxygen-conducting membranes.
