Methanol

Carbon dioxide + hydrogen = methanol

- A widespread chemical component

Transportation fuel - Rolling replacement plan:

Today:Gasoline blends (M5 and M15)

Next week: M100 for combustion

engines

Next year: M100 for fuel

Wind power for methanol production• Nouryon and Gasunie to supply 20

MW electrolyzer• BioMCN / OCI will combine CO2 and

H2O to produce methanol

• Pilot project • 4,000 to 8,000 tonnes of

sustainable methanol / year

Methanol fuel cell – High Temperature PEM

• No external heat needed as waste heat drives fuel evaporation process = higher conversion efficiency

• No gas clean-up needed = simple and cost effective system

• Water regeneration = increased energy storage

The combat against air pollution

91%of the world’s

population lives in places where air

quality exceeds WHO guideline limits

7 millionPeople die every

year from exposure to fine particles in

polluted air

The transport sector

is responsible for a large proportion of urban air pollution

Out of the 7 million premature deaths

4.2 million

die as a result of exposure to ambient air

pollution

Blue World Technologies

makes a difference

with zero harmful emission fuel cell

Well to Wheel CO2 emissions

Tank to Wheel - methanol fuel cell

• ~500 g CO2/kWh

• 30-50 g CO2/km

• Zero harmful emissions

Today

• Oil, coal, natural gas, wind, solar, biomass

2050

• Biomass, solar, wind
