The George Olah Plant, Iceland, 2012, the world’s first e-methanol plant

Carbon Recycling International is the global leader in CO₂ to methanol technology, with over 200,000 tonnes per year of installed sustainable methanol production capacity. To date we are the only company in the world to have realised CO₂ to methanol conversion at commercial scale.

Our proven and patented ETL technology is the most efficient CO₂ to methanol synthesis process available in today’s carbon capture and utilization market. Our technology, services, and project development know-how enable our partners to produce sustainable methanol from carbon dioxide and hydrogen, at lower capital and operating cost than any other option on the market.

We are realising commercially-viable projects that contribute to decarbonisation on a global scale, supporting a renewable methanol market that is forecast to reach 400 million tonnes per year by 2050.

I believe that chemistry can and will be able to bring about an equilibrium between mankind’s needs and our environmental concerns.

Latest News

Industries

We enable companies to operate more sustainably by using hydrogen to convert CO₂ emissions into methanol. This process delivers a certified-sustainable fuel to industries such as marine and aviation and produces a green building block for chemical derivatives.

Sustainable methanol can help:

Industrial emitters that are looking to generate value from emissions, while improving the sustainability of their operations.

Producers of hydrogen that are looking for a value-added and sustainable use in an attractive market.

Renewable energy companies that have load variations or are looking to transport or store energy over long and short periods of time.

Consumers and potential consumers of methanol - as chemical feedstock or marine, aviation or automotive fuel.
