Methanol is produced with more than 100 million tons per year from fossil natural gas. With regard to the Paris Agreement, the CO2<\/sub> emissions caused by the methanol production are unacceptable. The E4MeWi research project addresses this issue under the direction of CreativeQuantum: Over the next three years, an interdisciplinary team of chemists and engineers will develop a container-sized chemical plant that produces methanol from water, carbon dioxide and renewable energies in a highly efficient way. This will enable small and medium-sized companies as well as regional suppliers to produce methanol in a decentralized and environmentally friendly manner within a few years. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The research association E4MeWi consists of the startups CreativeQuantum and INERATEC, as well as the Leibniz Institute for Catalysis, the Ruhr-University Bochum and the Chemical Park Bitterfeld-Wolfen. The project has been funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy with a total of 2.0 million euros since November 1, 2020 and for three years.<\/p>\n

E4MeWi is the German acronym of \u201eEnergy-Efficient Renewable Energies based Methanol Economy\u201c. The planned container-sized chemical plant shall demonstrate that methanol can be produced from sustainable sources by orders of magnitude faster and more energy-efficiently than before. A further goal of the consortium is to design the technology in such a way that methanol can be produced at competitive prices in places where cheap electricity meets local CO2<\/sub> emissions. Thus, the vision of the E4MeWi partners could combine wind power and waste incineration plants or solar energy and biogas plants for a new added value. This could result in a sustainable raw material source for the chemical industry. The mobility sector is another target market for green methanol, which can be used as a fuel additive or for fuel cells.<\/p>\n
