Abstract: Electric-based methanol (e-MeOH) has the potential to substitute fossil-based hydrocarbons as the prominent feedstock in the production of climate-neutral synthetic fuels and organic chemicals because e-MeOH can be fully produced from renewable energy sources, such as solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy. It is basically produced via direct CO2-hydrogenation from captured CO2 and electrolytic H2. Although the techno-economics of the e-MeOH production process have been extensively studied, the published results have not included direct comparison of the reactor design configuration, different kinetic models, and exergy analysis.
