A green methanol production facility in Beaumont, Texas. The green methanol comes from a mix of renewable feedstocks, including renewable natural gas, green hydrogen and other over-the-fence feedstock partnerships. As of 2023, OCI produces 200,000 metric tons/year. In September 2023, it announced its intention to double production.
In a 2022 report, Mitsui notes the manufacturing of bio-methanol through biogas at Fairway Methanol, a joint venture with Texas-based Celanese corporation. Fairway Methanol is manufacturing low-carbon methanol and constructing a CCU business. The project began running in January 2024. It is expected to capture 180,000 metric tons of CO2 industrial emissions and produce 130,000 metric… Continue reading Mitsui | Celanese | Fairway Methanol
The plant has been operational since 2015. Methanex has received International Sustainability & Carbon Certification for bio-methanol production at its Geismar 2 site in 2022. This certification enables sales to European fuel customers under the Renewable Energy Directive II. A Geismar 3 project is under construction. The bio-methanol is produced from renewable natural gas. In… Continue reading Methanex Geismar Plant
A 200,000 metric ton per year waste-to-methanol production facility that would include a waste processing and treatment facility, a biorefinery, and an electrolyzer for green hydrogen production. The project would source approximately 320,000 MTPA of regional biomass that would be stored, treated, and dried. The treated biogenic waste would be fed to a gasifier, which… Continue reading Proman Waste-to-Methanol Facility
Ørsted’s development of a 675 MW Power-to-X facility on the US Gulf Coast. The facility is expected to produce approximately 300,000 tonnes of e-methanol per year. The methanol will fuel A.P. Moller-Maersk’s fleet of 12 methanol-powered vessels. The facility will be powered by approx. 1.2GW of renewable energy from onshore wind and solar PV farms.… Continue reading Ørsted Power-to-X Facility — Project Star
A facility converting renewable natural gas and associated gas from the Permian into over one billion gallons/year of sustainable aviation fuel, lower carbon aviation fuel, and other light products annually. The facility will use captured biogas feedstock, integrated carbon capture, and renewable power. A FID is targeted for mid-2024.
EE North America’s Power-to-X facility Port of Victoria, Texas producing e-methanol using biogenic CO2. The e-methanol would then be used to fuel vessels for maritime shipping operations. Montauk Renewable is expected to provide biogenic CO2 from its Texas facilities for the production of e-methanol, starting in 2026 for 15 years. In January 2024, Project Nightshade… Continue reading EE North America | Project Nightshade
Carbon Sink plans to deliver 100,000 tonnes/year of green methanol to A.P. Moller-Maersk from its debut plant, which will be co-located with the Red River Energy existing bioethanol plant in Rosholt, South Dakota. Carbon Sink produces green methanol by combining green hydrogen from the electrolysis of water using additional renewable electricity and biogenic CO2. The… Continue reading Carbon Sink Red River Energy plant
As part of the Integrated CCS Pre-Feasibility phase of the CarbonSAFE Initiative, Battelle Memorial Institute, partnered with the DOE, performed pre-feasibility studies for an integrated commercial-scale carbon capture and storage site that would utilize deep geologic strata in the Central Appalachian Basin. The project identified six potential CO2 source locations and two potential storage sites in… Continue reading Central Appalachian Basin CarbonSAFE Integrated Prefeasibility Project
Arbor Gas’ Spindletop Renewable Gasoline Project converts woody biomass into renewable synthesis gas for the production of approximately 345,000 barrels annually of drop-in high-octane renewable gasoline. The gasoline will be produced from woody biomass generated from the East Texas woodshed incompliance with the EPA rules under the Renewable Fuel Standard. It is located in Beaumont,… Continue reading Arbor Gas | Spindletop Renewable Gasoline Project
