Clariant’s methanol synthesis catalyst successfully commission at European Energy’s e-methanol plant

In Denmark, Clariant recently announced the successful startup of its MegaMax 900 methanol synthesis catalyst at European Energy’s e-methanol plant. Located in Kasso, Denmark, the facility is one of the world’s first and, up to now, largest commercial e-methanol plant, using biogenic CO2 and green hydrogen to produce up to 42,000 tons of green methanol annually. Clariant’s Applied Catalyst Technology (ACT) technical service team provided on-site support throughout the startup procedure, overseeing the catalyst loading, reduction, and startup. MegaMax 900 is operating with excellent activity and stability despite the challenging conditions of CO2-to-methanol conversion.
