Copenhagen-Haldor Topsoe has started up a plant to demonstrate its eSMR methanol technology for the production of sustainable methanol from biogas at Aarhus University's research facility in Foulum, Denmark(PCN, 22 July 2019, p 2). The new 10-kg/hr methanol plant, scheduled to be fully operational by the beginning of 2022, will validate Topsoe's electrified technology for the cost-competitive production of carbon dioxide(C02)-neutral methanol. The process utilizes half the C02 that makes up about 40 of biogas and typically is costly to separate and vent in the production of grid quality biogas.
