Sustainability: New ways of producing methanol from electricity and biomass
In future, it could become easier to manufacture methanol from biomass decentrally on site. Researchers at FAU’s Chair of Chemical Reaction Engineering are proposing a method with which raw and waste materials from plants can be processed in a self-contained procedure under mild reaction conditions. This method means that the complex drying and transportation of biomass to large biomass gasification plants becomes superfluous. The results were published in the journal “Green Chemistry”.
