METHANOL PRODUCTION 03 Conventional Methanol Production Natural Gas CO+H2 CO2+ H2 Methanol Converter Methanol/Water distillation Methanol Fuel Gas Steam(H2O) Synthesis gas To Burners To H2 consumers CH3OH/H2O H2 Purge Water Reformer Natural Gas(fuel) Reformer distillation tower Methanol convertor 2 Methanol Production Coal Gasification Source: Johnson Matthey 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.
