The technology is called Emissions-to-Liquids (ETL) and was developed by Carbon Recycling International. This video explains how the process works and how it contributes to a more circular economy. Read More → Sep 9, 2020 CRI DEMONSTRATES CHEMICAL STORAGE OF WIND ENERGY IS POSSIBLE AT INDUSTRIAL SCALE Carbon Recycling International (CRI) and other members of the EU Horizon 2020 project consortium MefCO2 have officially completed an innovative chemical energy storage demonstration and successfully passed the external project review by the European Commission. The project coupled CRI’s Emissions-to-Liquids (ETL) technology, which transforms CO2 and hydrogen into e-methanol, with CO2 capture from a thermal power plant operated by RWE in Niederaussem, Germany. The project demonstrated that chemical storage of surplus power from wind or solar sources is already possible on an industrial scale. Electrolysis and synthesis of CO2 from industrial waste gas represents a scalable solution improving the robustness of the energy system overall, which is increasingly dependent on growth in intermittent renewable energy sources.

The grant will allow CRI to accelerate efforts to commercialize large scale production plants, expanding the market for ETL technology and use of renewable methanol in Europe. The project is referred to as “CirclEnergy“, as CRI’s technology is designed to support and enable the transition to circular economy. Read More → Apr 10, 2019 LIQUID ELECTRICITY: ENABLING THE GROWTH OF RENEWABLE POWER GENERATION Power generation from wind and solar sources is becoming the lowest cost option on a levelized cost basis, for most locations around the world. The capacity of transmission grids to accommodate natural fluctuations in wind and solar energy, is however still limited. As investment in solar and wind generation continues to grow, transmission system operators are therefore increasingly forced to curtail the supply of power from these intermittent sources.
