Toward Carbon‐Negative Methanol Production from Biogas: Intensified Membrane Reactor

Abstract: The modern world's major challenges, such as global warming, air pollution, and increasing energy demands, escalate the importance of sustainable development and transition toward renewables using innovative and environmentally friendly solutions, such as intensifying chemical processes, to reduce carbon footprints effectively. Aiming to enhance the process toward negative carbon emissions, this perspective explores the intensified membrane reactors for reducing the energy intensity of converting biogas into methanol, a versatile chemical feedstock, and renewable liquid fuel. Syngas and methanol synthesis processes, catalysts, and membranes were explored, and novel reactor designs were proposed. Introduction of selective membranes into the catalytic reaction zone to combine synthesis separation steps could enhance the system efficiency and intensify the process by recycling energy and materials, besides reducing costs and required energy for the separation process: the continuous harnessing of products shifts reactions toward desired species while recycling energy and materials enhances the process efficiency, and separating water from methanol reduces the required energy and costs of extra processes for methanol separation. The successful implementation of this technology holds significant promise for sustainable developments in producing chemicals and renewable fuel from renewable biogas and reducing methane and carbon dioxide emissions toward achieving carbon‐negative technologies.
