Low-Emission Production of Methanol on the Base of the Matrix Conversion of Natural Gas with the Addition of CO2

Ammonia and methanol production, which use natural gas to produce synthesis gas, play an important role in greenhouse gas emissions. This generates huge amounts of carbon dioxide, much of which is released into the atmosphere, thereby creating a greenhouse effect. One of the most effective ways to reduce CO2 emissions is to use it as a feedstock for petrochemical large-scale production. In this work, we present a fundamentally new autothermal process for methanol production based on non-catalytic matrix conversion of methane, the main component of natural gas, and CO2 into syngas. It shows the real possibility of utilizing a significant amount of CO2 in the production of demanded petrochemical products and organizing gas chemical processes with almost zero CO2 emissions. This is the most economically feasible approach to reducing the emission of this major greenhouse gas in technological processes.
