Even though zero-emission initiatives continue to strive to achieve carbon-neutrality, global carbon emissions remain high. Recently, experts decided to reconsider the initial plans to eliminate carbon emitters by substituting fossil fuels with renewable energy. The strategy never accounted for a slow energy transition rate. Some utility companies maintained operations in their fossil-fuel-powered facilities alongside setting up a new infrastructure to utilize renewable energy. Renewable energy storage is another challenge that the emission-free master plan never anticipated. Utility companies countered the challenge by developing storage technologies for turning renewable energy into dispensable energy, facilitating usage during intermittent power supply from national power grids. The energy industry never stopped improving on storage technology.<\/p>\n

The industry recently developed a revolutionary technology that facilitates the storage of energy generated from wind and solar power by conversion to liquid fuel, including methanol. The energy storage technique ensures that no green energy goes to waste, without the dependency on batteries. Industries produce CO2 that can be captured and combined with hydrogen, obtains from splitting water molecules, and produces methanol. The hydrogen extraction process uses the surplus green energy to apply an electrical current that splits the water into its constituents through a process known as electrolysis. The application for the fuel manufactured includes in cars and ships, leading to a decreased reliance on fossil fuels and reduce emissions of hazardous greenhouse gases.<\/p>\n

David Cuesta, the project coordinator at I-deals, said that the energy company from Spain developed its state-of-the-art facility that transforms renewables into liquid fuel. The energy stored in the liquid fuel is fit for conventional internal combination (IC) engines. The company aims to convert a standard automobile into an electric vehicle (EV) by achieving near-zero carbon emissions. The MefCO2 project<\/a>, coordinated by Cuesta, identified industries\u2019 role in conserving green energy generated from renewables.<\/p>\n

The project aims to eliminate energy fluctuations in green energy production by transforming intermittent renewables into dispensable energy. The MefCO2 project applied the carbon extraction technology at one of Germany\u2019s coal-fired electricity production plants to illustrate the transformation process for turning renewable energy into methanol. Replicating the conversion process at a commercial scale will help the European Union reduce its methanol importation by a huge margin. It is convenient to store and deliver the methanol; however, it is currently manufactured from raw materials made from fossil. Chemical industries use methanol as a feedstock in their wide range of products.<\/p>\n

In summary, there is an increasing urge to adopt the Industrial Symbiosis Approach that involves different industries collaborating data, resources, and industrial materials to attain sustainability of the entire ecosystem. The industrial approach opens opportunities for further advancements in the energy industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
