    • An example of a catalyst would be Cu. The catalyst encourages high selectivity a larger percentage of the products go to creating methanol. Methanol is used to create many materials and fuels, from adhesives and plywood subfloors to water bottles, wrinkle-resistant shirts and diesel fuels. It is also a chemical used in making antifreeze, windshield washer fluid, solvents and other products.
    • Primary objective of the technology is to purify up to 0.5 Mtpa. The CO2 can be used for methanol, urea and food grade application. The underlying technology is based on catalytic/ adsorbent process for producing high purity CO2.
