Abstract
This work presents a bi-criteria superstructure optimization of a PtM (power-to-methanol) design regarding techno-economic and environmental key figures. The general modeling approach based on mass- and energy balances is applied to a case study depicting a potential plant located in the region of northern Germany Schleswig-Holstein. The selected case study demonstrates minimal net production costs of 1,346 €/t of methanol and minimal net production emissions of -2.29 tCO2/t of methanol. Hence, PtM concepts are not cost competitive as compared to conventional methanol. However, utilizing renewable electricity, PtM can contribute to CO2 abatement in the process sector.
