Methanol Synthesis from CO2: Towards Achieving Carbon Neutrality explores the conversion of CO2 into methanol, a vital step towards carbon neutrality, and delves into the intricate chemical reactions, catalytic mechanisms, and engineering strategies that underpin this transformative process. By addressing the global carbon challenge, the book emphasizes the urgent need to repurpose CO2 from a harmful pollutant into a valuable feedstock, paving the way for a sustainable future powered by methanol. The book covers a wide array of topics, including the historical evolution of methanol synthesis, sustainable feedstocks, and advanced catalytic methods.

Readers will gain insights into reaction mechanisms, process technologies, and the role of artificial intelligence in optimizing production. Additionally, the book examines the environmental and economic implications of methanol synthesis, providing a holistic view of its potential applications across various industries, from fuel blending to chemical manufacturing. This is an essential resource for researchers, engineers, policymakers, and industry professionals in fields such as chemical engineering, environmental science, and renewable energy.

Lebohang Macheli holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering from University of Cape Town, Cape Town, South Africa. He is Research scientist in Chemical Engineering with specialty in catalysis and energy engineering (air and water), and Teaching Assistant at University of Cape Town. Professor Yao Yali holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering from University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa. She is associate professor in the Institute for the Development of Energy for African Sustainability (IDEAS) at University of South Africa (UNISA), and co-leader of the research group on alternative fuel production via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (XTL/FTS); The leader of the desulfurization research group. Her research work focuses on production of alternative fuels and purification of crude oil by means of ‘green’ technology. She spent my time on laboratory research and the design of contract projects in this field. Some of my research results have been applied successfully in industry projects. Linda L. Jewell holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering from University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa. Her research interests include Fischer-Tropsch Catalysis, CO hydrogenation, Environmental catalysis, Open Distance e-Learning, Field of Specialisation, and Heterogeneous Catalysis. Xinying Liu is a full professor and head of catalysis research group at the Institute for Development of Energy for African Sustainability, a research institute at the University of South Africa. He is an expert in the field of catalytic and nano inorganic materials for energy use, especially in Fischer Tropsch Synthesis (FTS), carbon dioxide utilization, biomass to energy systems and alternative liquid fuel processes. He also has over 15 years of industrial experiences in carbonaceous material indirect liquefaction process (XTL process), in pilot scale XTL facility design and operation, and small/medium scale XTL plant design, and to couple Fischer Tropsch process with other renewable process including concentrated solar power, and carbon dioxide capture.
