Green Methanol Synthesis Reactor

Interactive 3D simulation of a green methanol synthesis reactor: renewable hydrogen and captured CO2 flow over a Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst bed, converting to methanol and water. Adjust temperature, pressure and feed ratio to see the conversion trade-off.

Green methanol turns two climate problems into one solution: captured CO₂ and renewable hydrogen combine over a metal catalyst to make a liquid, drop-in fuel that ships already know how to burn. This simulation visualizes the reactor itself — CO₂ and H₂ molecules falling through a catalyst bed, reacting into methanol and water at a rate that depends on temperature, pressure and feed ratio. Adjust the sliders to find the conditions real plants target, and watch conversion rise and fall as you push past the sweet spot.

Interactive 3D simulation of a green methanol reactor: renewable hydrogen and captured CO2 fall through a Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst bed and react into methanol and water, with conversion rate driven by adjustable temperature, pressure and feed ratio.
