Abstract

The cement industry emits a large amount of greenhouse gases compared to other industries, with about 60% of CO2 emissions from the decarbonation of limestone and about 40% from the combustion of fossil fuels. Therefore, the cement industry needs to reduce greenhouse gases through carbon capture, utilization, and storage technology. Capturing CO2 and synthesizing it into methanol is feasible and also useful as raw material for the chemical industry and as marine fuel. In this study, We aimed to produce methanol from syngas produced by capturing CO2 emissions. Process simulations were performed under various conditions such as syngas ratio, temperature, and pressure for the production of synthesis gas and methanol, and the results showed that the optimal amount of methanol production at a synthesis gas ratio of 2.03.
