Technology
Bio-methanol from waste biogas using Innovative catalyst technology
CRecTech has developed a breakthrough catalyst, CRecREFTM, that turns raw biogas, made up of methane and carbon dioxide, directly into renewable bio-methanol in just two steps instead of the conventional four step process. Our catalyst not only prevents carbon build-up but also puts CO₂ to work as part of the reaction, producing the perfect gas mixture needed to make methanol.
This means we skip expensive cleaning and conditioning steps, cutting production costs by up to 50%. The result is a highly sustainable way to turn biomass wastes into affordable green fuel for the shipping industry and beyond.
Steam Methane Reforming Problems
Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) faces challenges like high CO₂ emissions, catalyst degradation, and energy inefficiency.
Two Processes
CRecTech is pioneering low-carbon solutions through two key innovations — reducing fuel use, water consumption, and CO₂ emissions.
