In the UK, Fuel Cells Works reported that European Energy has unveiled its latest innovation — bio-methanol produced via electrified steam methane reforming (e-SMR).
The company, already operating its flagship Kassø e-Methanol Facility in Denmark, said the e-SMR pathway represents a “next generation” step in Power-to-X technology, combining renewable electricity with biogas feedstocks to produce low-cost green methanol for industries such as shipping and aviation.
“We’re changing how we source the ingredients for our green methanol — now also using biogas as feedstock. This new pathway gives us maximum flexibility, allowing us to tailor methanol production to what’s locally available and deliver the lowest-cost green methanol with a highly competitive carbon footprint,” the company said.
Developed in collaboration with SYPOX, the e-SMR process reduces overall electricity demand by partially replacing hydrogen from electrolysis with hydrogen derived from biogas reforming.
