BASF and Envision Energy ink collaboration to drive sustainable energy solutions

In Germany, BASF process catalysts announced a new collaboration with Envision Energy.

The collaboration aims to further develop the conversion of green hydrogen and CO2 into e-methanol through an advanced process design.

The two companies aim to optimize the process of producing e-methanol from green hydrogen and CO2. This collaboration will see BASF provide its SYNSPIRETM catalyst technology, which Envision Energy will integrate with its  energy management system. The two organizations plan to demonstrate the viability of the advanced process design next year, at Envision Energy’s Chifeng site in Inner Mongolia, China.

Envision Energy will design a process package that maximizes the efficiency of the catalyst technology while fully enabling the dynamic conversion of green hydrogen and CO2 into e-methanol, in sync with the onstream time of wind power. Envision Energy will leverage its pioneering AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) platforms to optimize the novel mode of chemical plant operation, BASF said.
