Published purpose

The Project aims to further advance a Power-to-X technology able to convert in a single step flue gas into a low-carbon syngas. This technology has a great potential to decrease the GHG emissions of Canada’s energy sector by reducing the fossil power generation carbon footprint and displacing fossil-based methanol. The main advantage of this technology is its potential lower CAPEX and OPEX when compared to classical Power-to-X approaches. Another advantage is its flexibility regarding the flue gas composition and the syngas H2/CO ratio. The Project will build on the technological development achieved in the first phase of the Materials for Clean Fuels challenge and integrate the technology with methanol production using various flue gases. Success in this further development will help derisk the technology and guide its future scale-up to match the requirements of the industrial methanol production.
