That's what happens when you sit with your thumb firmly in your arse for 7 1/2 years.
More failure from JUHN Scarfy ,Goebbels and the LFD RFD PNM.
* awaits Red Colos or some other LFD RFD PNM moron to run in and say I unpatriotic*

But no talk about what they going to do with the waste co2.
Unless they plan on creating more methanol plants.... With downstreams

I see they at least making efforts to be self sufficient by ensuring their own gas supply and won the award for best decarbonization project.
We still dependant on oil and gas while martime fuel shifting towards methanol as a green source.

Isn't methanol mostly formed from natural gas?

And we have extra capacity from tgu that was originally built for the smelter which never happened.
Desalcott in primary location for things to happen but demands.
There are package desalination / reverse osmosis plants available that can forgoe strain on desal infrastructure.
And we may have extra extra CO2 now.
They have extra capacity, but no gas to fuel that capacity.nervewrecker wrote:As said above electrolysis is an option.teems1 wrote:nervewrecker wrote:I may have missed it.De Dragon wrote:We can't even supply ourselves with gas, yet this moron talking about ramping up production for Europe?

Methanol is being used in vehicles around the world, particularly in China, which is the world’s largest user of methanol for automotive fuel.

seeing methanex talking about m100 (straight methanol) in production vehicles. Apparently its already happening.Methanol is being used in vehicles around the world, particularly in China, which is the world’s largest user of methanol for automotive fuel.

From research I know different injectors are needed, iirc stainless steel lines and tanks. Methanol having a lower energy density than conventional gasoline needs larger volumes injected per combustion cycle so bigger injectors are required or higher cycle duty.
Research also revealed that oil changes are needed more frequent as meth being a good solvent put engines at a higher risk of bore wash and oil wold get contaminated faster from meths low viscosity. Lower reves (not 9k redline) would be a probable requirement to prevent bore wash.
Cylinder sleeving for aluminium blocks should ease corrosion in gasoline types.
Meth itself cools cylinder chambers on injection instances so overall engines run cooler and so long for predetonation.

DeNovo Energy has started gas production from the offshore Zandolie field in Trinidad & Tobago.
The field, located in the Gulf of Paria off the west coast of Trinidad, is DeNovo’s second offshore development following the Iguana field development in the same Block 1(a).
The $52-million investment by the Trinidad-based DeNovo demonstrates the company’s commitment to increasing Trinidad’s natural gas supply by developing stranded and marginal gas reserves, it said in a statement.
Gas from the field is produced through a single well, conductor-supported platform with a nameplate capacity of 40 MMcf/D of gas.
This unmanned facilities platform, designed by UK-based offshore engineering firm Aquaterra Energy, is installed in 20 m of water, and tied back to the Iguana platform.
The Aquaterra Sea Swift conductor-supported platform design is powered by a wind turbine and a solar bank. Use of the dual-energy resource reduces intermittency risk and includes a battery to store excess power.
Additionally, the platform is equipped with an intelligent monitoring technology that alerts personnel through onshore systems when a maintenance visit is required.
The integration of renewable resources makes Zandolie the first design of its kind in Trinidad and Tobago, according to DeNovo.
"This critical milestone in DeNovo's second field development highlights the drive by the team to constantly improve and learn. We pushed ourselves to deliver a greener and more local platform," said DeNovo's Managing Director, Bryan Ramsumair, in the release.
"The result is that the Zandolie platform is a local fabrication which is 100% powered by renewable energy—and which will minimize the carbon footprint of our operations.”
Aquaterra was awarded the front-end engineering and design contract for the project in May 2020. The firm had previously designed, built, and installed a Sea Swift conductor-supported platform for DeNovo at the Iguana field in 2018.
The field development builds off the existing Iguana infrastructure enabling a more- compact topside structure that is lighter and more efficient, according to DeNovo.
“It is our intention to keep acquiring access to new acreage to allow us to do more projects like this on a regular basis,” said Ramsumair. “With Zandolie, DeNovo is demonstrating that our future energy industry can be done locally and with a lower carbon footprint—both aligned to the country's development objectives."
Construction of the platform was completed at the United Engineering Services Limited local fabrication yard. The Zandolie drilling campaign was also safely conducted by the local Well Services jackup Rig 110.
DeNovo Energy, part of the Proman family of companies, holds an 80% interest in Zandolie and is operator of the field. The National Gas Company of Trinidad & Tobago holds the remaining 20% interest.
