Clariant’s MegaMax catalyst selected by Chinese gasification-to-green methanol project

In Germany, Clariant announced that its MegaMax catalyst was selected for a China’s biomass gasification-to-green methanol project. The plant will use a combination of farm waste and wind power to produce up to 250,000 tons per annum of green methanol in two phases by 2027. Construction of the first plant phase began in March 2024 and is expected to start producing green methanol in the first half of 2025 as China’s first commercialized biomass gasification-to-green methanol plant.
