Digital solutions driving e-methanol market growth

Toyo Engineering Corporation (TOYO), a global leading engineering contractor, has developed two digital solutions: MethaMaster™ and MethaDynamics™. Both tools assist TOYO’s proprietary g-Methanol™ process in producing e-methanol at different phases: the design phase and the operational phase, respectively. Both are based on dynamic simulators that simulate the hourly results of e-methanol production using variable renewable energy 1,000 (VRE).

The variability of energy source is a challenge for plant capacity design as well as for planning daily production. MethaMaster™ is used  in the design phase to offer optimum capacity design. MethaDynamics™ is used in the operational phase for production planning to maximise e-methanol production and for automatic operation of the g-Methanol ™ plant, even when utilising VRE.
