Abstract

In Iceland a methanol plant named in honour of the noble prize laureate [1] operating since 2011. As substrate they use carbon dioxide and hydrogen producing methanol. Methanol is the simplest alcohol and well know since the developments of Paul Sabatier and the catalysis processes [2], in liquid phase at environment pressure and temperature, and is a synthetic alcohol. In the Georg Olah Plant [3] carbon dioxide and hydrogen are mixed 1mol:3mol together to form a syngas, being compressed and transformed under the help of catalysts to methanol (methanol synthesis).
