Abstract:

The scope of this work is to provide a mapping of available biogenic CO2 sources to produce methanol that could eventually be used as marine fuel. In contrast to fossil CO2 emissions, biogenic CO2 does not add additional stress to the carbon cycle and is therefore investigated as a feedstock for methanol synthesis. In this work, the main investigated sources of biogenic CO2 are biogas, bioethanol, food and beverage, pulp and paper, as well as biomass combustion plants. Furthermore, indications on the points of generation within the plant, the geographical distribution of the plants in Europe, indicative stream compositions/impurities in the bio-CO2 stream as well as potential seasonality aspects of each sector. The influence of the contained impurities in the sources is assessed, whereas the current uses of biogenic CO2 and the total amount of the biogenic CO2 produced are also included to the study.
