**Bid Invitation for the Development of a 100,000-ton-per-year process package for the production of methanol via carbon dioxide hydrogenation by the New Energy Technology Research Institute of the Energy Group

Thread Content

On November 7, a tender was issued for the development of a process package for the production of methanol from carbon dioxide via hydrogenation, with a capacity of 100,000 tons, by the New Energy Technology Research Institute of **Energy Group**: Project overview: Based on its research in the conversion and utilization of CO2, the New Energy Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd. of **Energy Group** addressed the common issues associated with the current process of producing methanol from CO2 through hydrogenation, such as low reactivity of catalytic materials, poor selectivity of the desired product, and insufficient stability for large-scale application. By focusing on research and development in this area, the institute succeeded in developing methods for creating high-performance catalysts for the hydrogenation of CO2 into methanol, resulting in the creation of high-performance Cu-based catalytic systems for this purpose, along with methods for their large-scale production. A 10-ton/year pilot verification platform was established, and performance evaluations were conducted; all indicators have reached international advanced levels, meeting the conditions for large-scale application and dissemination. Scope of the bidding: To accelerate the practical application of this technology, it is necessary to determine the process technical approach based on the performance parameters of the catalysts, collect process data, conduct simulation studies of the process, prepare PFD and PID diagrams, select appropriate equipment, and prepare design specifications. Additionally, it is required to develop and compile complete process packages for the compression, synthesis, and distillation of CO2 in order to produce methanol, for capacities of 50,000 tons per year and 100,000 tons per year respectively. In addition, in accordance with the 50,000 tons per year \"green hydrogen–green carbon–green methanol\" project, preliminary feasibility studies and full feasibility studies on 50,000 tons per year of biomass gasification and carbon dioxide hydrogenation for methanol production were carried out. Furthermore, technical services were provided on-site for the pilot plant, along with site surveys, inspections, and research related to the Zaozhuang project, in cooperation with the client.
