In Florida, M2X Energy,
a startup company with process technology that converts stranded natural gas
into low-carbon methanol, and SCG Chemicals (SCGC), a petrochemicals company
that is committed to developing sustainable chemicals and clean energy
solutions, have strengthened their existing relationship by announcing a joint
development program to optimize key chemical transformations within M2X’s
modular process.
By leveraging the
extensive catalyst R&D and manufacturing expertise of SCGC and the deep
process design and engineering knowledge from M2X Energy, this collaboration
aims to streamline the catalytic steps to form methanol from syngas
intermediates. The partnership seeks to
identify novel catalyst formulations that can increase catalyst activity, lower
byproduct formation, and improve catalyst lifetime.
