    Methanol industry

    The world needs methanol.  

    It’s not just essential for the chemical industry but also an emerging alternative fuel. Traditional production methods are carbon-intensive, but now the transition to renewable methanol production is under way. Whichever production pathway you choose, we can help.

    Topsoe and Methanol

    As pressure to decarbonize increases, the methanol industry faces a growing requirement for green methanol produced using renewable feedstocks. The global renewable methanol market is forecast to increase dramatically by 2050.¹

    Methanol is a chemical building block for hundreds of everyday products. And its qualities – clean-burning, readily biodegradable, and easily stored and transported – have now put it on the map as an alternative fuel source. But traditionally methanol has been produced from fossil fuels, producing significant CO2 emissions 

    We can support your production with solutions for both conventional methanol and green methanol. With reliable operation, extremely high energy efficiency and superior conversion levels, we’ll help you achieve the best economic performance in both the short and long term. The outlook is bright for the methanol industry. 

    Addressing your needs

    We offer a range of process technologies for methanol production, that can all be customized to meet the requirements of your individual project. 

    Our breakthrough, renewables-optimized green methanol plant is a winning solution built on decades of industry leadership. It comes in four capacity versions and produces green methanol from a synthesis of green hydrogen and biogenic CO2. Its modular design brings plug-and-play architecture, reducing risk and maximizing profits.  

    For conventional methanol production, our SynCOR Methanol™ technology is the most cost-efficient methanol solution available anywhere and is ideal for mega plants. We also offer two-step, one-step and small-scale solutions.
