e-Methanol

Petron’s approach captures and purifies raw biogenic CO₂, a co-product of biorefinery operations, and combines it with green hydrogen, supplied either through partner electrolyzer technology or our proprietary ethanol-to-hydrogen conversion process (currently under development), to synthesize e-methanol. This integration converts an otherwise underutilized biogenic carbon stream into one of the market’s highest-demand platform chemicals, supporting a deeper and more scalable route to decarbonization.

Petron’s solution & differentiators

A systems approach that couples green-hydrogen integration with biogenic CO₂ to produce e-methanol, produced with partner technologies as part of the integrated offering (process diagram below).

Applicable feedstocks & products

Green hydrogen and biogenic CO₂ (with integration to our Biorefinery building block) into e-methanol.

Commercial maturity

Commercially available through Petron’s co-development partnerships, integrated with the wider biorefinery platform.

How it works

Process block diagram

eMethanol process: biogenic CO2 from ethanol fermentation and green hydrogen from electrolyzers through compression, methanol synthesis, crude methanol separation with a gas recycle loop, and distillation to eMethanol for liquid fuels, plastics, fibers, and chemicals, with fusel oil as a by-product.
