Perspectives from large scale marketing of sustainable chemicals made from hydrogen and CO2 emissions
Celanese has been using Carbon Capture and Utilization at commercial scale to produce chemistries for various end markets since the start of 2024. Nearly 400 Million Pounds per year of CO2 emissions, mostly from 3rd parties, are captured, purified and reacted with hydrogen to produce methanol which is then further derivatized. This presentation will provide an overview of the process and some observations on the products and markets that can benefit from CCU as well as the challenges and obstacles.
