Sweden’s Perstorp AB has developed a concept to process hydrogen from electrolysis and recovered end-of-life streams to produce methanol. Through the Project AIR, Perstorp plans to build a plant that will combine Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) and gasification processes where CO2, biomethane, renewable hydrogen, and residue streams will be converted into methanol. To do this, Perstorp will cooperate with Nature Energy, Fortum, and Uniper.
Project AIR aims at reducing Perstorp use of fossil-based methanol by 200,000 tons/year. This will help downstream producers’ efforts to use sustainable materials and cut their carbon footprints. Project AIR is expected to enter service in 2025 and help lower greenhouse gas emissions by about 500,000 tons/year. Perstorp is looking for funding for the plant that will be located in Stenungsund, Sweden. The plant will receive biogas supply from Nature Energy and renewable hydrogen supply from Fortum and Uniper.
