✦ Synopsis
methane to methanol by UOP is from an award under the Advanced Technology Program of the US Commercial Department. Technoeconomic feasibility and proof-ofprinciple will be demonstrated for the low-temperature process. Commercialisation will be undertaken by UOP if the technology proves successful and this could result in a $22/tonne reduction in the $80/tonne costs of methanol production. The technology also offers a 50% reduction in capital costs, a 60% cut in energy utilization, and 33% lower production of carbon dioxide.
