Methanol serves as a starting material for the production of various fuels or fuel components such as methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and biodiesel. In addition, hydrocarbon fuels can be obtained either directly via Methanol-to-Gasoline (MtG) processes or indirectly via Methanol-to-Olefins (MtO) processes followed by flexible conversion of olefins to gasoline, kerosene or diesel fuel. Another option is the synthesis of dimethyl ether (DME) or oxymethylene ethers (OMEs), which exhibit properties similar to conventional diesel fuel. Within this work, the different strategies are described and compared. Provided that methanol is produced from renewable resources, e.g. by hydrogenation of CO2 in a Power-to-X (PtX) process, sustainability of methanol-based process chains can be strongly enhanced. The strategies are, at least partially, on an advanced stage of development and could significantly contribute to future mobility concepts.

摘要

Methanol serves as a starting material for the production of various fuels or fuel components such as methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and biodiesel. In addition, hydrocarbon fuels can be obtained either directly via Methanol-to-Gasoline (MtG) processes or indirectly via Methanol-to-Olefins (MtO) processes followed by flexible conversion of olefins to gasoline, kerosene or diesel fuel. Another option is the synthesis of dimethyl ether (DME) or oxymethylene ethers (OMEs), which exhibit properties similar to conventional diesel fuel. Within this work, the different strategies are described and compared. Provided that methanol is produced from renewable resources, e.g. by hydrogenation of CO2 in a Power-to-X (PtX) process, sustainability of methanol-based process chains can be strongly enhanced. The strategies are, at least partially, on an advanced stage of development and could significantly contribute to future mobility concepts.
