Power-to-Methanol (P2Me) technology is emerging as a scalable solution for energy storage during the transition to net zero. However, P2Me's efficiency and cost competitiveness are hindered by the intermittent nature of wind and solar energy, and the stable energy demand required for continuous methanol production. This leads to higher production costs for e-methanol compared to fossil-based alternatives. Introducing process flexibility offers a promising strategy to lower these costs by approximately 20%. Flexibility allows the P2Me process to adapt to the fluctuating availability of renewable energy, incorporating demand-side management to better align power generation with methanol production needs. Despite this potential, no specific flexible process design has been proposed, nor have comprehensive evaluations of the benefits and trade-offs of flexible P2Me processes been explored from a multi-dimensional perspective.
The FlexP2Me project aims to revolutionize the P2Me process by integrating flexibility into its multi-level design, optimization, and assessment. This project will pursue two goals with high techno-economic and social impacts: (a) proposing an innovative flexible P2Me process featuring load-adaptable reactor and distillation configurations, and (b) optimizing and evaluating the P2Me process across various dimensions—efficiency, cost, environmental impact, and safety. To achieve this, FlexP2Me will develop a novel multi-stage reactor and a flash vapor circulation-based distillation system, coupled with thermal storage, to dynamically adapt to the fluctuations in renewable energy inputs. This unique approach, absent in current processes, is expected to enhance efficiency by at least 15% and lower e-methanol production costs to within 20% of fossil-based methanol. Additionally, FlexP2Me aims to reduce CO2 emissions by 20% through complete process electrification of P2Me and ensure operational risks are tolerable to society via risk-informed design.
