The Methanol Institute is pleased to welcome Linde as our newest member. Linde is a leading global industrial gases and engineering company with 2022 sales of $33 billion. The company serves a variety of end markets such as chemicals & energy, food & beverage, electronics, healthcare, manufacturing, metals and mining. Linde's primary business is the manufacturing and distribution of atmospheric gases, specialty gases (such as those used for electronics manufacturing) and process gases such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen for clean fuels such as renewable methanol. Today, Linde has the largest liquid hydrogen capacity and distribution system in the world. Linde's expertise covers the entire hydrogen value chain from generation to liquefaction and transport, as well as application in industrial processes and mobility. The company also designs, engineers and builds equipment that produces industrial gases and offers customers a wide range of gas production and processing services. Linde has been optimizing gas processing technologies for 140 years, successfully delivering more than 4,000 plant engineering projects around the globe. Linde's innovative technologies include a proprietary isothermal reactor for methanol synthesis, which has been used in several plants worldwide. We are very pleased to welcome Linde to MI. Linde's deep knowledge of the hydrogen value chain and their development of technology to increase methanol's participation in that chain will be an important area of concentration as the energy transition gathers pace. David Burns, VP Clean Energy at Linde noted that "Renewable methanol, has been gaining traction around the world as a strong contender to help reduce emissions in critical sectors, such as the shipping industry. We are glad to join the Methanol Institute and reinforce our commitment to support the energy transition through our well-established hydrogen and carbon dioxide businesses. We look forward to expanding our existing collaborations in the industry.” https://bit.ly/350ZUmM #methanol #efuel #energy #sustainable #energytransition #futurefuel #cleanfuel #alternativefuel #marine #maritime

Lake Charles Methanol announces $3.2bn renewable methanol plant plans MI member Lake Charles Methanol will invest $3.24bn in a new manufacturing plant that will reform natural gas and renewable gas feedstocks into hydrogen while capturing carbon dioxide to produce about 3.6 million tonnes per year of methanol. The major project is currently undergoing a front-end engineering and design study for regulatory permitting. A final investment decision and start of construction are expected in mid-2024. Lake Charles Methanol is targeting a late 2027 start-up date. It is hoped that, once fully operational, the plant will work with a third party to capture and sequester around one million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide per year. This would reduce the carbon intensity of the hydrogen for synthesis into low-carbon-intensity methanol. https://bit.ly/3SN6Wkl #methanol #alternativefuel #renewable #cleanfuel #futurefuel #energytransition #sustainable

Europe's First Commercial Green Hydrogen-to-Synthetic Methane Plant Unveiled in Spain Key Innovations and Developments: Rapid Construction and Cost Efficiency: The Turn2X company successfully launched Europe's first commercial green hydrogen-to-synthetic methane plant in Extremadura, Spain, within a remarkably short span of less than six months, and notably, without any government subsidies. Competitive Pricing Strategy: Despite the absence of subsidies, the synthetic methane produced is priced competitively with biogas, with expectations to achieve lower, more cost-effective rates similar to average biomethane prices with future projects. Technological Advancements: Originating from a research initiative at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, the project features innovative technology for methane production from hydrogen and CO2. This includes a partnership with Uniper for a pilot plant in Germany, further establishing the technology's viability. Future Growth and Expansion: Turn2X is planning to construct the world's largest renewable natural gas plant in Spain, indicating a significant scale-up in their production capabilities and a commitment to leveraging renewable resources like solar power. Market Potential and Client Interest: Despite the premium price of synthetic methane, industries such as energy-intensive sectors, shipping, and utilities show strong purchasing interest, recognizing the need for sustainable alternatives to traditional fossil fuels. In my view, the successful implementation of Turn2X's plant without subsidies is a significant milestone, showcasing the economic viability of green technologies even in their nascent stages. However, the industry must continue to innovate in cost reduction and efficiency improvements to make these solutions more accessible. Challenges such as the high initial costs and the need for extensive infrastructure development remain. Additionally, while the market for synthetic methane is promising, its success hinges on broader regulatory support and continued advancements in renewable energy technologies. What are your thoughts on synthetic methane's potential replacement for conventional natural gases? Do you see this technology as a feasible part of our larger green energy transition?
