Methanol producer Methanex Corporation has teamed up with carbon capture and storage specialist Entropy to evaluate the integration of carbon capture, utilisation, and sequestration technology at Methanex’s Medicine Hat site in Alberta.
A preliminary front-end engineering and design (pre-FEED) study will look at the feasibility of leveraging Entropy’s modular post-combustion carbon capture technology at the site. It is hoped the project will support the sequestration of CO2 in addition to utilisation.
The partnership wants to capture 400 tonnes of CO2 per day.
A portion of captured CO2 will be used as feedstock to produce around 50,000 tonnes of methanol annually. Methanol can be used as a fuel in internal combustion engines, fuel cells, and as a feedstock for producing other synthetic fuels.
