SunGas Renewables begins FEED for US$2 billion biomethanol facility

The public entity Ciuden and the company’s technological benchmark for its innovation challenges, Eurecat, will develop a pioneering plant to produce more efficient methanol from green hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Eurecat will develop the plant in two phases. The first, with a funding of €218,000, will be dedicated to research and development of advanced chemical technologies, including the design and experimental validation of “more efficient” …

SunGas Renewables begins FEED for US$2 billion biomethanol facility

Developed in partnership with C2X, this landmark green methanol project is located in Central Louisiana within Rapides Parish. This milestone marks the execution of the FEED engineering contracts and selection of key technology licensors. The FEED engineering will be performed by Kiewit Engineering Group Inc. (Kiewit) and Jacobs based on process technology packages, completed by SunGas for biogenic syngas and carbon dioxide (CO2) production usin…

The Technology Development Center of the City of Energy Foundation (CIUDEN) and the Eureka Technology Center lead the design and development of a pilot plant for the use of green hydrogen and carbon dioxide captured for the production of high purity methanol more efficiently, improving the thermodynamic limitations present in conventional reactors and also making conventional purification stages unnecessary.
