The NextFuel project aims to pilot a novel approach to producing methanol, never before piloted beyond our project partners lab scale prototype, where we use an electrically heated stream methane reformer (eSMR) instead of present firing of natural gas in the fired reformer. The eSMR technology allows very compact reactor designs, up to 100 times smaller than current SMR plants, which combined with higher energy efficiency and no directly associated CO2 emission, makes the eSMR reactor extremely commercially attractive for synthesis gas production. The technology is also well suited to add additional hydrogen and CO2 to increase production.
