The company uses its patented production process utlizing hydrogen (H<sub>2<\/sub>) and carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2<\/sub>) to produce renewable methanol which can be directly blended up to 3% with gasoline according to the EU\/ EEA fuel quality directive.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The company has been operating a pilote scale plant in its laboratory based on its patented process for CO<sub>2<\/sub> to liquid fuels. In late 2011, the company commissioned the world&#8217;s first commercial scale plant in the world.<\/p>\n<p>The CO<sub>2<\/sub> feedstock and renewable power for producing hydrogen (H<sub>2<\/sub>) are both supplied by the geothermal power plant at Svartsengi.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;George Olah Plant&#8221; was completed in cooperation with Jacobs Engineering, Mannvit, HS Orka and the municipality of Grindav\u00edk.<\/p>\n<p>The company will procued about 5 million liters per year, fueling about 2.5% of the Icelandic gasoline market. It uses about 5 MW in power generation capacity per year (around 40,000 MWh per year) recycling ca. 5,000 tonnes of CO<sub>2<\/sub> per year.<\/p>\n<p>As I was told some time ago by the company&#8217;s CEO K-C Tran, the Svartsengi is a very unique location. The quality of the CO<sub>2<\/sub> emitted by the geothermal plant and the power that can be used for the operation make this a very special operation. It helps decrease CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions of the geothermal plant, utilizing green power to create a green fuel. A win-win for all involved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b>Carbon Recycling International (CRI) is a developer and operator enabling carbon dioxide capture and conversion.
