Solution for decarbonating flue gases from combustion equipment: CO2 Net Zero

Equipment: 10 MW boiler
Proposed solution: flue gas decarbonation and methanol production
Benefits: economic and environmental
20,000 T of CO2 not released into the atmosphere / year
-> 1.38 M€ / year (CO2 Quota July 2025: 69 € / T)
15,000 T of e-methanol produced / year
-> 5.2 M€ (Market price considered: 350 € / T)

Two-step process for this business case:

  1. Hydrolysis of water to produce 2/3 of oxygen requirements
  2. Catalytic reaction between CO2 and H2 to produce methanol and 1/3 of oxygen requirements
