  • Methanol production process
    Patent number: 11603342
    Abstract: The invention provides a process for producing methanol, which process comprises contacting H2 and CO2 with a solid catalyst, at a temperature of from 200° C. to 300° C. and at a reactant pressure of from 150 bar to 500 bar, which reactant pressure is the sum of the partial pressures of the H2 and the CO2, wherein: the molar ratio of the H2 to the CO2 is x:1.0, wherein x is from 2.5 to 3.5; and the catalyst comprises: (i) a copper component which is Cu, CuO or Cu2O, or a mixture of two or three thereof, and (ii) ZnO, wherein the catalyst has a specific copper surface area of at least 10 m2/g-catalyst.
