European Energy selected Clariant\u00b4s methanol synthesis catalyst MegaMax for the world\u2019s largest e-methanol project. Located in Kasso, Denmark, the facility is scheduled to start operations by the end of 2023. It will have the capacity to produce 32,000 tons of e-methanol annually from carbon dioxide using Clariant\u2019s catalyst. MegaMax was chosen as it is proven to deliver high activity and stability under the challenging conditions of CO2-to-methanol conversion. A large portion of the plant\u2019s annual yield is already allocated to the maritime giant Maersk for powering its first-ever carbon-neutral fleet. The remaining green methanol will be supplied to the Lego Group and Novo Nordisk.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>Georg Anfang<\/strong>, Vice President Syngas and Fuels at <strong>Clariant Catalysts<\/strong>, commented, \u201cWe are proud to be part of this pioneering project with European Energy. Clariant Catalysts has been developing Power-to-X technologies, including green methanol, for over a decade. As a substitute for maritime bunker fuel, green methanol has a huge potential to be a key component of the energy transition to decarbonize the transport sector.&#8221;<\/p><p><strong>Anders Brendstrup<\/strong>, Vice President at <strong>European Energy<\/strong>, added, \u201cWe are very pleased to have Clariant on board. Their renowned expertise and advanced products are a perfect match for our vision to drive the green energy transition. We see many advantages in our partnership, not only for this groundbreaking project but also for future ventures.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>European Energy was founded in 2004 with the goal of driving the green transition and developing sustainable, fossil-free energy solutions. The multinational company has major investments in solar and wind energy projects, as well as power-to-x and carbon capture technologies. European Energy builds 1000 MW of renewable energy annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clariant\u2019s MegaMax is an ideal solution for European Energy\u2019s Power-to-Methanol project, as it provides the enhanced stability required for green methanol production. The catalyst also offers outstanding activity \u2013 even at very low reactor temperatures and pressures. Moreover, MegaMax is very well suited to pure CO2 conditions, delivering high conversion rates when combined with green H2 feed. The catalyst\u2019s superior selectivity also prevents the formation of by-products in the yield, which greatly improves the sustainability and economics of green methanol synthesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about Clariant\u2019s MegaMax methanol catalyst series, please visit&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.clariant.com\/en\/Business-Units\/Catalysts\/Syngas-Catalysts\/Methanol\">methanol synthesis (clariant.com)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MegaMax\u00ae IS A TRADEMARK OF CLARIANT REGISTERED IN MANY COUNTRIES.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>European Energy is building the world\u2019s largest CO2-to-green methanol plant, with an annual capacity of 32,000 tons End-customers include maritime giant Maersk, the Lego Group and Novo Nordisk&nbsp; MegaMax catalyst optimally suited for green methanol production due to its high activity and enhanced stability Clariant Catalysts continues to drive energy transition lighthouse projects.
