WHO WE ARE Carbon Recycling International (CRI) was founded in Iceland in 2006 around the idea of recycling carbon dioxide emissions by utilizing it to make useful products. Out of our main office in Reykjavik, we work towards developing and marketing our ETL process technology for producing methanol from carbon dioxide emissions. Guided by values of leadership, sustainability, cooperation, innovation and development, we facilitate a transition to a more circular economy through our innovative approach to carbon capture and utilisation across the world. We leverage our experience to guide others towards a more sustainable future We strive to meet the needs of the present without compromising the future in all our work We work towards developing novel solutions to important challenges We build on collaborative effort to achieve desired results We are willing to take on new challenges for continued growth and expanding competencies WHAT WE DO The consensus view of the global climate science community based on current evidence is that avoiding the worst impacts of climate change will require concerted global action to reduce atmospheric carbon emissions. CRI’s ETL process represents an enabling technology for the energy transition, meeting a zero net CO2 emissions target and reducing society’s dependence on fossil fuels. Through our efforts we support three key developments towards a more sustainable, circular economy: CARBON REDUCTION CRI’s ETL technology enables large scale utilization of carbon dioxide and/or hydrogen waste streams, providing an economic incentive for carbon reduction in industrial manufacturing and power generation. Through the virtuous cycle of greenhouse gas reduction and the potential for vastly increased use of renewable electricity, societies can more rapidly wean themselves of dependency on fossil fuels and become both carbon neutral and energy independent. ENERGY STORAGE A key challenge to increased integration of renewable energy into the global power network is the fluctuating nature of wind and solar power as the transmission networks aren’t designed to accommodate dynamic power loads. Combining water electrolysis with production of methanol is the most efficient method of storing energy in the form of a liquid fuel and offers desired load following capability to the grid. ENERGY TRANSITION Methanol is a versatile molecule used as clean burning fuel and base chemical for various processes. Methanol produced using CRI’s technology consists of ultra-low carbon intensity, or a carbon reduction of more than 90% compared to fossil fuels, in the complete product life-cycle. Methanol combusts without forming particles and soot, emits no sulphur compounds and forms small amounts of nitrous oxides, representing a viable solution for the energy transition of mobility and chemical production.
