Abstract
Systems and methods for E-methanol production may comprise capturing carbon dioxide from an exhaust gas, the exhaust gas being a byproduct of a gas processing plant; hydrogenating the carbon dioxide with a hydrogen gas to produce a syngas; synthesizing a stream comprising methanol and water from the syngas; and separating at least a portion of the water from the stream to produce an E-methanol.
Claims15
A method comprising:
- capturing carbon dioxide from an exhaust gas, the exhaust gas being a byproduct of a gas processing plant;
- hydrogenating the carbon dioxide with a hydrogen gas to produce a syngas;
- synthesizing a stream comprising methanol and water from the syngas;
- and
- separating at least a portion of the water from the stream to produce an E-methanol.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- an amine adsorption unit configured to capture carbon dioxide from an exhaust gas, the exhaust gas being a byproduct of a gas processing plant;
- a hydrogen production unit comprising a wastewater electrolysis unit and a methane pyrolysis unit;
- a syngas reactor configured to hydrogenate the carbon dioxide captured from the exhaust gas;
