How Does Carbon Recycling International Utilize Catalysis?
CRI employs a process known as Emissions-to-Liquids (ETL), where CO2 is captured from industrial sources and converted into methanol. This process involves several catalytic steps:
CO2 Capture: CO2 is captured from industrial emissions using amine-based solvents or other advanced materials. Hydrogen Production: Hydrogen (H2) is produced via electrolysis of water, powered by renewable energy sources. Methanol Synthesis: CO2 and H2 are converted into methanol using a heterogeneous catalyst, typically based on copper, zinc oxide, and alumina.
