This report presents a cost analysis of large-scale Methanol production from natural gas The process examined is a typical arrangement based on conventional steam reforming of natural gas for syngas generation. Natural gas is sent to the steam reformer for producing syngas, which is then converted to Methanol. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): "Methanol", Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 5th edition Keywords: Synthesis gas, conventional methanol process, large-scale methanol

This report presents a cost analysis of Hydrogen production from natural gas. The process examined is a typical steam reforming process. This process comprises the following main steps: natural gas steam reforming for syngas production; shift conversion, i.e., reaction of carbon monoxide with steam, producing carbon dioxide and additional Hydrogen; Hydrogen purification by means of a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) system. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) "Hydrogen, 2.

This report presents a cost analysis of Methyl Ester Sulfonate (MES) production from palm oil. The process examined consists of two steps: a transesterification step similar to Lurgi Transesterification process and a sulfonation step similar to Chemithon process. In this process, palm oil and methanol are reacted forming methyl ester, which is then sulfonated to Methyl Ester Sulfonate. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) US Patent 8288574, issued to Lurgi in 2012 (2) Handbook of Detergents, Part F: Production Keywords: Methyl Alcohol, Sulfur Burning, Air/SO3 Sulfonation

This report presents a cost analysis of Acetylene production from natural gas using a partial combustion process The process examined is similar to BASF process. In this process, natural gas is subjected to high temperatures and is converted to acetylene and hydrogen. The heat required by this endothermic reaction is provided by the combustion of natural gas, which occurs at the same time in the burner, in the presence of substoichiometric amounts of oxygen. The Acetylene product is recovered by selective absorption into N-methylpyrrolidinone solvent and subsequently passed through stripping columns. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): "Acetylene", Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 7th edition Keywords: Methane, Partial Oxidation, Oxygen, Acetylene Burner

This report presents a cost analysis of Dimethyl Carbonate (DMC) production from methanol. The process examined is a typical oxidative carbonylation process. This process is a non-phosgene alternative for DMC production, in which CO, O2 and methanol react in the presence of copper chloride (CuCI) catalyst. Although reaction occurs in the liquid phase, a heterogeneous-phase mixture forms and the product stream is withdrawn from the reactor in vapor phase. The vapor is partially condensed, treated for recovery of catalyst and then subjected to distillation operations. Unreacted methanol is recovered and recycled to the reactor. Purified Dimethyl Carbonate is obtained after separation of side-product water. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) US Patent 20030236428, issued to General Electric Company (2) US Patent 5685957, issued to Enichem Synthesis in 1997 Keywords: Non-Phosgene Process, Phosgene-Free, Oxidative Carbonylation, Enichem, Eni

This report presents a cost analysis of large-scale Methanol production from natural gas. The process examined employs combined reforming for syngas generation similarly to the technologies developed by the following companies: Lurgi, Toyo, KBR, Johnson Matthey/Davy and Haldor-Topsoe. In this process, natural gas is converted into syngas in two steps: steam reforming and autothermal reforming. In the steam reformer, the natural gas reacts with steam and, in the secondary (autothermal) reformer, it reacts with oxygen. The syngas generated is then converted to Methanol. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) US Patent 8629190, issued to Lurgi in 2014 (2) US Patent 8388864, issued to Lurgi in 2013 Keywords: Synthesis Gas, Lurgi MegaMethanol, Johnson Matthey, JM Davy Technologies, Toyo, Kellogg Brown and Root, KBR, Johnson Matthey/Davy, Haldor-Topsoe

Without energy, there is no well-functioning economy, besides facing social risks. This book provides a systemic approach to energy in Mexico and its relations to the USA arising from the energy reform of the former. It covers the transition from fossil fuels to a low-carbon economy, relying heavily on renewable sources and mitigating climate change risks. Several human knowledge disciplines and topics are covered in the book, including public policy, economics, transboundary issues, electricity and thermal energy, residual biomass use, distributed energy systems and its management, and decision-making tools. An analysis is considered regarding energy issues interaction in the Mexican-USA border, which differ in both countries from pricing and policy, and the work and research that has been developed for transboundary energy trade.
