Trash gas to green gold: MIT spinout turns old engines into methane munchers
SMRTR summary
Emvolon, an MIT spinout, is adapting car engines to convert methane into liquid fuels like methanol and ammonia on-site. Their container-sized system produces about 8 tons of methanol daily from 300,000 cubic feet of methane. This technology aids in greening hard-to-decarbonize sectors such as shipping and heavy transport. Emvolon partnered with Montauk Renewables to build a demo unit at a Texas landfill, targeting 2.5 million gallons of green methanol yearly. The company claims their cost-effective approach can deliver competitive green fuels without subsidies.
