Thermally self-sufficient process for cleaner production of e-methanol by CO₂ hydrogenation

The hydrogenation of CO₂ to methanol is a technology that converts a greenhouse gas into a valuable chemical compound that efficiently stores energy. Several alternatives to perform this process have been proposed, but they are either not thermally self-sufficient and depend on using external fuel, or the power usage per ton of...

Thermally self-sufficient process for single-step coproduction of methanol and dimethyl ether by CO₂ hydrogenation

Methanol and DME are highly efficient fuels and relevant building blocks that can be synthesized by CO₂ hydrogenation. While several alternatives for methanol production by CO₂ hydrogenation have already been developed at a commercial scale, DME production is still based on methanol dehydration. In this sense, the...
