According to a research team from Oxford University, solar and wind may be applied in power-to-methanol projects only if the methanol industry will switch from conventional chemical processes, that require a constant energy supply, to more flexible processes that need demand-side management.The application of renewable energy power generation technologies in power-to-methanol projects will become viable only if the chemical industry will make processes for methanol production more flexible, thus adapting them to the intermittent and variable nature of wind and solar power. This is the main conclusion ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
