Hydrogen is an integral component in the methanol production process. In the methanol economy methanol replaces fossil fuels as a means of energy storage.
The methanol economy is a future economy where methanol replaces fossil fuels as a means of energy storage, ground transportation fuel, and raw material for synthetic hydrocarbons and their products. One of the possible chemical reactions for the production of methanol is shown below:
Guilt-free hydrogen opens up the opportunity of converting CO₂ to methanol in a completely carbon neutral fashion.
