This process suggested that carbon dioxide and hydrogen could be reacted to produce methanol. [9] German chemists Alwin Mittasch and Mathias Pier, working for Badische-Anilin & Soda-Fabrik (BASF), developed a means to convert synthesis gas (a mixture of carbon monoxide , carbon dioxide , and hydrogen ) into methanol and received a patent.
Efficiency for methanol synthesis of hydrogen and carbon dioxide currently is 79 to 80%. [19] Thus the efficiency for production of methanol from electricity and carbon dioxide is about 59 to 78%. If CO 2 is not directly available but is obtained by direct air capture then the efficiency amounts to 50-60 % for methanol production by use of ...
The foremost challenge in catalytic oxidation is the conversion of methane to methanol. Most methane is stranded, i.e. not located near metropolitan areas. Consequently, it is flared (converted to carbon dioxide). One challenge is that methanol is more easily oxidized than is methane. [3]

Baofeng Ningxia Methanol-to-Olefins plant. In the early 1970s, Mobil developed an alternative procedure in which natural gas is converted to syngas, and then methanol. The methanol reacts in the presence of a zeolite catalyst to form various compounds. In the first step methanol is partially dehydrated to give dimethyl ether: 2 CH 3 OH → CH 3 ...
Paul Sabatier (1854-1941) winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1912 and discoverer of the reaction in 1897. The Sabatier reaction or Sabatier process produces methane and water from a reaction of hydrogen with carbon dioxide at elevated temperatures (optimally 300–400 °C) and pressures (perhaps 3 MPa [1]) in the presence of a nickel catalyst.
A 1965 report suggested synthesizing methanol from carbon dioxide in air using nuclear power for a mobile fuel depot. [62] Shipboard production of synthetic fuel using nuclear power was studied in 1977 and 1995. [63] [64] [65] A 1984 report studied the recovery of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel plants. [66]
Syngas fermentation, also known as synthesis gas fermentation, is a microbial process.In this process, a mixture of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide, known as syngas, is used as carbon and energy sources, and then converted into fuel and chemicals by microorganisms.
