We build container-sized modular solutions for green methanol synthesis to decarbonize industrial facilities. Our focus is on scaling up our patent protected high-performance CO2-to-methanol conversion technology developed by A. Urakawa, professor Catalysis Engineering at TU Delft. The unique direct synthesis method allows skipping the traditional syngas stage and achieves over 95% process efficiency in a single pass. This significantly reduces space and equipment complexity requirements and brings compact high-performance modular solutions to life. The direct synthesis method can handle CO2 from emissions and hydrogen from industrial processes thus saving costs on feed-stock purification steps. This makes it ideal for industrial facilities striving to meet net-zero emissions targets in an economical way and create additional revenue streams from methanol-based products. The areas of application include any Carbon Capture and Utilization, as well as Power-to-X projects, which can now benefit from reduced capex and operating costs. We welcome partners and investors to join forces in addressing the global climate challenge and getting into the growing multi-billion dollar market.

The Pros and Cons of Nine (9) Types of Hydrogen Storage 🟦 1) Liquid hydrogen a) If you require the greatest volumetric density, go for liquid hydrogen, which has a density of 70.8 kg/m3. b) Liquid hydrogen storage challenges include a Liquefaction energy requirement of 10-13 kWh/kgLH₂ and a high boil-off rate. 🟦 2) Compressed gaseous hydrogen: a) You can store hydrogen as a high-pressure gas at 350-700 bar, which is the most established hydrogen storage technology. b) The energy needed to pressurize hydrogen to 700 bar is 6 kWh/kg, and its volumetric density is 42 kg/m3. 🟦 3) Compressed and liquefied synthetic natural gas (SNG) a) Captured CO₂ + 4H₂ [from green hydrogen] → CH4 +2H₂O [Sabatier reaction] b) The infrastructure for transporting compressed and liquefied natural gas is established and the technology is fully developed. 🟦 4) Synthetic fuels a) (2n + 1) H₂ + n CO → CnH(2n+2) + n H₂O [Fischer-Tropsch process] b) If you wish to utilize current storage and transportation methods, synthetic fuels would be the solution. 🟦 5) Ammonia and Methanol a) They feature high volumetric hydrogen density (107.7-120 kg/m3 for liquid ammonia (NH3) and 95.04-99 kg/m3 for methanol (CH3OH)) and high gravimetric hydrogen content (17.65 wt% for liquid ammonia and 12.1 wt% for methanol) for hydrogen storage. CH3OH ⇌ CO + 2H₂ ; CO+ H₂O → CO₂+ H2 CO+ 2H₂ ⇌ CH3OH ; CO₂+ 3H₂ ⇌ CH3OH+ H₂O 🟦 6) Liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs) a) Currently the most promising LOHCs are: - Toluene/ methylcyclohexane (MCH) (C7H8/ C7H14), - Naphthalene/ decalin (C10H8/ C10H18), - Benzene/ cyclohexane (C6H6/ C6H12), - Dibenzyltoluene (DBT)/ perhydro-dibenzyltoluene (PDBT) (C21H20/ С21H33). 🟦 7) Formic Acid (CH₂O₂) and Isopropanol (C3H8O) a) They have a high volumetric hydrogen density of 53 kg/m3 for formic acid and 25.9 kg/m3 for isopropanol. Additionally, the high gravimetric hydrogen content is 4.3 and 3.3 wt% for formic acid and isopropanol, respectively, for hydrogen storage. 🟦 8) Porous materials a) Carbon-based porous hydrogen storage many carbon-based materials are described by a low hydrogenation level at ambient states. b) Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) They are Organic-inorganic hybrid materials with adjustable structures and functionality for hydrogen storage. 🟦 9) Metal hydrides a) metal hydrides such as magnesium hydride (MgH2) and aluminum hydride (AlH3) exhibit high hydrogen storage capacity (up to 7.6 wt% for MgH2 and 10.1 wt% for AlH3) at a low cost. b) Intermetallic hydrides, including AB5, AB2, AB types, and LaNi5H6, need fewer temperatures and pressures for hydrogenation/dehydrogenation. c) Complex metal hydrides, including lithium borohydride (LiBH4) and lithium amide (LiNH2), have sluggish de/re-hydrogenation kinetics.

Nuclear energy is also considered a renewable source according to the Brundtland Commission's 1987 report "Our common future" (the United Nations report that gave birth to the concept of "sustainable development" and supports the 2030 agenda), because the availability of the necessary raw material, and the amount of energy extracted from it, it's huge compared to any possible use. The sun cannot be reused because the hydrogen that powers its fusion reaction is converted into heavier elements. Therefore, if the energy source of solar and wind is not renewable, it is only an approximation from our human perspective. If the discussion is about semantics, then it may be considered biased, as it assumes the hydrogen in the sun is infinite on a human scale. However, this perspective could also apply to the nuclear fuel available in land and seawater, which would take an even longer time to exhaust. If you regard the hydrogen in the sun as infinite, and therefore renewable at our scale, you have to regard nuclear fuel as infinite too, and therefore renewable, for the same reason. Actually, nuclear energy is sustainable for longer than solar and wind (https://lnkd.in/gbTX3gic). Considering the substantial amount of material resources and the limited lifespan of solar and wind equipment, the difference is even more significant.

China is investing heavily in Solar panels to generate electricity. Like in the 20th century it was said "that those who control OIL 🛢️ supply chain will control the world". But in the 21st century it's different. It's said that "those who control the supply chain of solar panels will control the world". Currently 85% of solar cells and solar wafer supply chains are controlled by China. 80% of world solar panels are today MADE IN CHINA. Add China has largest 250,000 MW of wind turbine installed in world. They have largest wind turbine manufacturing capacity. Don't forget the EVs, which run for free getting charged by solar panels electricity.
🌍 Why CCS May Not Be the Silver Bullet for Climate Change While Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology has been heralded as crucial for meeting our climate goals, a critical assessment raises several concerns about its viability and effectiveness. The Historical Context: In the mid-1980s, two researchers from Sintef conceptualized the idea of capturing CO₂ emissions from gas extraction and storing them underground. This idea became reality a decade later at the Sleipner field in the North Sea, proving that safe carbon storage was possible. Fast forward to today, CCS is seen as a key technology to combat the climate crisis. Key Issues with CCS: Resource Intensive and Costly: Implementing CCS on a large scale is expensive. The infrastructure needed for capturing, transporting, and storing CO₂ requires significant financial investment. These costs can divert resources away from more sustainable and long-term solutions like renewable energy development and energy efficiency improvements. Limited Application Scope: CCS is often justified by the fact that not all industries can be easily electrified. However, this ignores the potential for innovation and development of alternative processes that reduce or eliminate CO₂ emissions. Relying heavily on CCS might reduce the incentive to pursue these innovative solutions. Leakage Risks: The long-term safety of CO₂ storage is not fully guaranteed. There are potential risks of leakage, which could undermine the benefits of CCS by allowing stored CO₂ to eventually escape back into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. Dependence on Fossil Fuels: CCS can perpetuate the use of fossil fuels by providing a seemingly viable way to manage emissions. This could delay the transition to cleaner energy sources and undermine efforts to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, which is essential for achieving long-term climate goals. Energy Consumption: The process of capturing and storing CO₂ is energy-intensive. This additional energy demand can lead to higher overall emissions unless it is sourced from renewable energy. Thus, the net benefit of CCS in reducing emissions can be less than anticipated. Conclusion: While CCS has a role to play in the climate solution toolkit, it is not a panacea. We must critically evaluate its economic and environmental impacts and prioritize comprehensive strategies that focus on reducing emissions at the source, enhancing energy efficiency, and accelerating the transition to renewable energy. The future of our planet depends on sustainable, scalable, and equitable solutions. Let's engage in a meaningful dialogue on the best pathways forward for our collective climate goals. #ClimateChange #Sustainability #EnergyTransition #ClimateAction
