ExxonMobil's Methanol to Gasoline Technology
29 January 2008
News from ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company (EMRE) announced recently that Methanol to Gasoline (MTG) technology for converting methanol to gasoline has been selected by DKRW Advanced Fuels (DKRW) as part of DKRW??s coal to liquids (CTL) project. MTG converts crude methanol directly to low sulfur, low benzene gasoline that can be sold directly or blended with conventional refinery gasoline. Although the original application of the MTG technology processed methanol from natural gas, the same technology can be used for methanol from other sources such as coal, petcoke or biomass. The Medicine Bow project will gasify the coal, convert the synthetic gas to methanol, and then convert the methanol to gasoline via the MTG process. Conversion of coal to gasoline through gasification and methanol conversion is one way to significantly reduce the potential pollutants from coal, including the reduction of SOx emissions and the capture of CO2.
ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company is the research and engineering arm of Exxon Mobil Corporation, a leading global oil, natural gas, and petrochemicals company whose subsidiaries have operations in nearly 200 countries and territories.
