2024 was also the year of critical hardware scale-up wins! 🧪🏭 👀 In September, C1 Green Chemicals AG successfully commissioned its pilot plant in Leuna - faster than ever imagined - and celebrated the first batch of green methanol produced there. A BIG leap towards decarbonising massive industries like shipping. ⛴️ WHY IT’S EXCITING Marek, Christian and the team are developing an ultra-efficient catalysis to mass-produce green methanol, one of the most widely produced chemicals on earth. 🚛 Until now, it has been mainly obtained from coal or natural gas. Green methanol has the potential to cut gigatonnes out of the global chemical industry and is a hugely exciting emerging energy source! Coming next: Commercial demo plant! Let's go! 👷🏻🏗
