Reducing the carbon footprint of the chemical industry requires a two-pronged strategy: reduction of fossil fuel use as an energy input, and carbon dioxide generated by chemical processes themselves.A joint venture by Celanese Corporation and Mitsui & Co., the Fairway Methanol project is operating a CO2 to methanol plant in Clear Lake, Texas. The process uses piped waste CO2 and clean hydrogen sourced from a nearby Linde plant.
The resulting low carbon methanol can be used as a feedstock for multiple downstream production processes making plastics, coatings, adhesives, pharmaceuticals and agricultural chemicals.
