Abstract

Replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy is crucial for achieving the goals of “carbon peaking and carbon neutrality”.Methanol is an important chemical feedstock

as well as an ideal hydrogen carrier and energy storage medium. The CO

hydrogenation to methanol technology offers a viable alternative to traditional fossil fuel-based methanol production routes and provides a pathway for CO

utilization

which is expected to mitigate fossil fuel shortages and environmental pollution. The reactor is one of the core components of CO

hydrogenation to methanol technology

among which the membrane reactor has advantages of high conversion efficiency and high product selectivity and shows great application potential in this field. The research status of membrane reactors for CO

hydrogenation to methanol was summarized

and the structural characteristics of methanol synthesis membrane reactors were discussed

and the challenges in their industrial applications were analyzed

and future research directions were explored. This study aims to provide a reference for the industrial application of methanol synthesis membrane reactors.
