ZEF develops a small scale chemical factory (the micro-plant) which converts CO2 from air into methanol. This renewable methanol can be used as a fuel or as feedstock in the chemical industry.The ultimate aim of ZEF is to install large numbers of micro-plants in solar-to-methanol-farms thereby producing large quantities of cost competitive methanol.ZEF combines three processes into one compact system. The processes are: CO2 direct air capture, hydrogen production using the alkaline electrolysis process and production of methanol through a thermo-catalytic process.
