Methanol Production Bridge to Sustainability

  • Methanol is a “future proof”

molecule that can be made from conventional fossil sources and emerging renewable feedstocks.

  • Expansion of energy

markets for methanol builds demand for sustainably- sourced and locally- produced methanol.

  • 500 MTPD of CO2 is recovered from the

flue gas using MHI’s proprietary KS–1™ solvent and injected in synthesis loop for boosting Methanol production.

  • The capacity of Methanol Plant has

increased by 300 MTPD with addition of CO2 in synthesis gas mixture as excess H2 is available for the methanol reaction.

  • Thus, QAFAC’s Methanol Plant became

Self–sufficient for raw material (CO2).

Pathway to Storing Renewable Electricity

Option 4

=

  • Converting intermittent renewable power into

‘liquid electricity’ is an alternative option to e-mobility, while reducing CO2

  • The amount of energy stored in one cubic

meter of methanol equals the storage capacity

Methanol in Gas Powered Turbines

In 2011, Israel Electric Corp (IEC) & Dor performed trial conversion at Caesara power plant located in valley in Eilat Previously used diesel-fuelled turbine for peak power. Limited to 300 hours of

  • peration annually; no

pipeline natural gas access June 2014 commercial

  • peration of 100% methanol-

fuelled Pratt & Whitney FT4C Twin Pack 50 MW gas turbine.

  • Low-cost fuel system retrofits to

methanol, with this initial project costing $5 million.

  • Yields significant NOx, SO2, and

particulates emission reduction, without affecting performance.

  • Unit now permitted to operate for 2,000

hours per year.

  • Methanol consumption is 30 tons per

hour.

  • This technology (first of its type in the

world) can be adopted in many other places (mainly Islands) where due to no natural gas supply, are currently using polluting fuels.

Methanol in Cooking Stove Applications

  • Traditional cooking fuels

(wood/charcoal, dung, kerosene, paraffin, diesel, coal, LPG) can emit significant CO2 and harmful particulates, potential fire hazards.

  • Nigeria (kerosene stoves), South

Africa (paraffin), China (coal).

  • Project Gaia pilot project and

studies in Nigeria since 2005.

  • Distributed fuel already in

canister: no handling of fuel by beneficiaries; results very successful.

Methanol in Cooking Stove Applications

China is Leading the World

  • Methanol for cooking

applications in China since 1983

  • Potential for large amounts of

methanol needed for future cooking applications in China.

  • Use of alcohol in cooking fuels

could reduce annual direct coal burning by 3,172 MW and CO2 emissions decrease of 8.25 billion tons.

Fuel

Cells

Methanol important in fuel cells as an environmentally- friendly hydrogen carrier fuel

Direct Methanol Fuel Cells (DMFCs):

  • Subcategory of proton

exchange fuel cells

  • Liquid MEOH used as

the fuel.

  • Easy to transport,

energy-dense/stable

  • Low efficiency
  • Good for portable

power

  • Waste: CO2 & water

vapor Reformed Methanol Fuel Cells (RMFC) / Indirect Methanol Fuel Cells (IMFCs):

  • Methanol reformed

to hydrogen gas before being fed into fuel cell.

  • Higher efficiency,

smaller cell stacks, better

  • peration/storage at

low temps.

  • Heat mgt/insulation

systems required
