With over 50 years of expertise in methanol synthesis and a clear commitment to developing innovative catalysts for the energy transition, we are an ideal partner for this prestigious sustainability project. Green methanol will play a crucial role as renewable fuel as well as feedstock for green chemical production.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Clariant\u2019s MegaMax is an excellent solution for China\u2019s first biomass-to-methanol project, as it provides enhanced stability and tolerance to the fluctuation of the system required for green methanol production. It also offers outstanding activity \u2013 even at very low reactor temperatures and pressures. Thanks to the catalyst\u2019s enhanced selectivity, production yield is low in by-product formation, significantly improving the economics of green methanol synthesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clariant will provide comprehensive technical service to ensure optimal catalyst performance through its Applied Catalyst Technology (ACT) team of highly qualified engineers and experts. Further support can be provided through the CLARITY\u2122 digital service portal, which offers access to real-time plant data to enhance reliability, safety, and profitability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about Clariant\u2019s MegaMax catalyst series for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.clariant.com\/en\/Business-Units\/Catalysts\/Syngas-Catalysts\/Methanol\">methanol synthesis (clariant.com)<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clariant, a sustainability-focused specialty chemical company, today announced that its MegaMax catalyst was selected for a China\u2019s biomass gasification-to-green methanol project.
