Shunli CO2 to Methanol plant - Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) is now a reality

The world’s first commercial scale CO2-to-methanol plant started production in October 2022. The cutting-edge facility is the first of its type in the world to produce methanol - a valuable fuel and chemical feedstock - at this scale from captured waste carbon dioxide and hydrogen gases.
The plant's production process is based on the Emissions-to-Liquids (ETL) technology developed by Carbon Recycling International (CRI) and first demonstrated in Iceland.
The new facility can capture 160,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions a year, which is equivalent to taking more than 60,000 cars off the road. The captured carbon dioxide is then reacted with the recovered hydrogen in CRI’s proprietary ETL reactor system with the capacity to produce 110,000 tonnes of methanol per year.

Where does the hydrogen required come from? How much does it cost?

450 Ton/day... Not bad... but it is needed 63517 years to capture the total amount of CO2 emitted in 2016 (only in China).
