Thanks for considering to support the show on buymeacoffee.com/innovateandreact (http://buymeacoffee.com/innovateandreact) ☕️






In this episode we discuss the critical role of methanol synthesis and hydrogen carriers in the energy transition. Florian, a scientific advisor at Fraunhofer ISE, explains his work in sustainable synthesis processes and the significance of hydrogen as a renewable energy carrier. We delve into the technical challenges of methanol synthesis using CO2 and hydrogen, the importance of dynamic operation and the purity of the syngas feedstock. Florian also highlights the strategic advantages of utilizing green methanol and advanced synthesis processes for industrial applications and future energy systems, as well as the potential for power-to-X technologies.
