Green Methanol: Old Chemistry Meets New Energy

In this episode we discuss the critical role of methanol synthesis
and hydrogen energy carriers in the energy transition. Florian, a
scientific advisor at Fraunhofer ISE, explains his work in
sustainable synthesis processes and the significance of hydrogen as
a renewable energy source. We delve into the technical challenges
of methanol synthesis using CO2 and hydrogen, the importance of
dynamic operation and the purity of the syngas feedstock. Florian
also highlights the strategic advantages of utilizing green
methanol and advanced synthesis processes for industrial
applications and future energy systems, as well as the potential
for power-to-X technologies.
