A type of electrolyzer technology that uses a Proton Exchange Membrane, known for its nimbleness and suitability for blending with green power.

Process combining hydrogen with biogenic CO2 captured from the ALUR ethanol plant to produce methanol as an intermediate product.

Integrated system design that co-locates wind power generation, hydrogen production via electrolysis, and methanol synthesis on a single site to reduce handling, improve efficiency, and create a closed-loop value chain.

Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, Wusu

An integrated facility combining a 2.2 GW wind farm, 250 MW electrolyzer array, and methanol synthesis facility to produce green hydrogen and low-carbon methanol. The project co-locates the entire value chain on-site to reduce handling and improve efficiency.

Methanol synthesized from green hydrogen and captured CO/CO₂ using copper-zinc-alumina catalysts. Intended for maritime shipping and industrial applications. Annual production: 300,000 tonnes.

Hydrogen produced through water electrolysis using renewable electricity, with zero associated carbon emissions, to be incorporated into the Baytown facility's diverse hydrogen supply mix.
