Haldor Topsoe has announced plans to build a plant to demonstrate its technology for creating methanol from biogas. The company said it wants to show how the eSMR Methanol system, powered by wind or solar energy, can compete with equivalent fossil fuel-based processes. The 10 kg/hr demonstration plant will be at Denmark’s Aarhus University with funding from the Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Programme. “Denmark is one of the most advanced countries in Europe when it comes to renewable energy production, but we are lagging behind other countries,” says Topsoe. The plant should be operational from 2022.
