Innovating in two major areas, Quantiam Technologies developed Methanol+ to combine hydrogen and CO2 to produce methanol. The first innovation comes from a catalyst database that helps increase efficiency gains, while the second innovation is the generation of hydrogen with environmentally sustainable methods. This process delivers a high-value chemical with a large market and a variety of applications.

Using a unique catalyst database, Quantiam’s technology Methanol+ produces methanol from captured CO2 emissions and hydrogen. The robust catalyst system targets efficiency gains in the system while at the same time operating in less extreme conditions than similar processes. The entire process simultaneously reduces GHG emissions and produces a high-value product.
