Emvolon and Montauk Renewables, Inc. Announce Collaboration to Transform Methane Emissions into High-Value, Carbon-Negative Fuel
Emvolon, an MIT spin-off, has announced a collaboration with Montauk Renewables, Inc. (NASDAQ:MNTK) to demonstrate the commercial viability of converting biogas into green methanol. The initial pilot will take place at Montauk's renewable gas production site in Humble, Texas.
Emvolon's technology repurposes car engines as modular chemical plants to convert methane from biogas into carbon-negative fuels and chemicals. This system allows Montauk to monetize flared tail gas resources without expensive pipeline infrastructure while eliminating greenhouse gas emissions.
The pilot aims to produce up to 15,300 gallons of green methanol annually, with potential for a full-scale system producing up to 2,400,000 gallons annually. This collaboration leverages Montauk's expertise as a leading U.S. producer of renewable natural gas to enhance the range of beneficial products sourced from biogas.
Emvolon, una startup del MIT, ha annunciato una collaborazione con Montauk Renewables, Inc. (NASDAQ:MNTK) per dimostrare la fattibilità commerciale della conversione del biogas in metanolo verde. Il primo progetto pilota avrà luogo presso il sito di produzione di gas rinnovabile di Montauk a Humble, Texas.
La tecnologia di Emvolon riadatta i motori delle automobili come impianti chimici modulari per convertire il metano proveniente dal biogas in carburanti e prodotti chimici a carbonio negativo. Questo sistema consente a Montauk di monetizzare le risorse di gas di sfiato senza la necessità di costose infrastrutture di condotte, riducendo nel contempo le emissioni di gas serra.
Il progetto pilota mira a produrre fino a 15.300 galloni di metanolo verde all'anno, con la potenzialità di un sistema su larga scala che produca fino a 2.400.000 galloni annualmente. Questa collaborazione sfrutta l'esperienza di Montauk come principale produttore di gas naturale rinnovabile negli Stati Uniti per ampliare la gamma di prodotti vantaggiosi derivati dal biogas.

La tecnología de Emvolon reconfigura motores de automóviles como plantas químicas modulares para convertir metano del biogás en combustibles y productos químicos negativos en carbono. Este sistema permite a Montauk monetizar los recursos de gas de quema sin la costosa infraestructura de tuberías, al tiempo que elimina las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero.
El pilotaje tiene como objetivo producir hasta 15.300 galones de metanol verde anualmente, con potencial para un sistema a gran escala que produzca hasta 2.400.000 galones anualmente. Esta colaboración aprovecha la experiencia de Montauk como principal productor de gas natural renovable en EE. UU. para ampliar la gama de productos beneficiosos derivados del biogás.
Emvolon은 MIT의 스핀오프 기업으로 Montauk Renewables, Inc. (NASDAQ:MNTK)와 협력하여 바이오가스를 녹색 메탄올로 전환하는 상업적 실행 가능성을 입증한다고 발표했습니다. 초기 파일럿 프로젝트는 텍사스 주 험블에 위치한 Montauk의 재생 가스 생산 현장에서 진행됩니다.
Emvolon의 기술은 자동차 엔진을 모듈화된 화학 공장으로 재구성하여 바이오가스에서 메탄을 탄소 음성 연료 및 화학 물질로 전환합니다. 이 시스템은 Montauk이 비싼 파이프라인 인프라 없이도 타버린 가스 자원을 수익화할 수 있도록 하며 온실가스 배출을 줄입니다.
파일럿은 연간 최대 15,300갤런의 녹색 메탄올을 생산하는 것을 목표로 하고 있으며, 최대 2,400,000갤런을 생산할 수 있는 대규모 시스템으로의 발전 가능성도 있습니다. 이 협력은 Montauk의 미국 재생 천연가스 생산자로서의 전문성을 활용하여 바이오가스에서 파생된 유익한 제품의 범위를 확장합니다.

Le pilote vise à produire jusqu'à 15 300 gallons de méthanol vert par an, avec un potentiel pour un système à grande échelle produisant jusqu'à 2 400 000 gallons par an. Cette collaboration exploite l'expertise de Montauk en tant que principal producteur de gaz naturel renouvelable aux États-Unis pour élargir la gamme de produits bénéfiques issus du biogaz.
Emvolon, ein Spin-off des MIT, hat eine Zusammenarbeit mit Montauk Renewables, Inc. (NASDAQ:MNTK) angekündigt, um die kommerzielle Machbarkeit der Umwandlung von Biogas in grünes Methanol zu demonstrieren. Das erste Pilotprojekt findet am Produktionsstandort für erneuerbares Gas von Montauk in Humble, Texas, statt.
Die Technologie von Emvolon verwendet Autotraßen als modulare Chemiefabriken, um Methan aus Biogas in kohlenstoffnegative Brennstoffe und Chemikalien umzuwandeln. Dieses System ermöglicht es Montauk, geflammte Abfallgase ohne teure Pipeline-Infrastruktur zu monetarisieren und gleichzeitig Treibhausgasemissionen zu vermeiden.
Das Pilotprojekt zielt darauf ab, jährlich bis zu 15.300 Gallonen grünes Methanol zu produzieren, mit der Möglichkeit eines großflächigen Systems, das jährlich bis zu 2.400.000 Gallonen produzieren kann. Diese Zusammenarbeit nutzt Montauks Expertise als führender US-Produzent von erneuerbarem Erdgas, um die Palette nützlicher Produkte, die aus Biogas gewonnen werden, zu erweitern.

Field Pilot to Demonstrate Commercial Viability of Recovering and Converting Biogas into Green Methanol
By repurposing car engines as cost-effective, modular chemical plants, Emvolon has designed a technology platform that converts the methane in biogas onsite into ready-to-use, easy-to-transport liquid green chemicals and fuels, such as green methanol and ammonia. The carbon-negative chemicals and fuels can then be transported in standard truck containers to be used in hard to abate emissions sectors like maritime and aviation. This system offers a way for Montauk to monetize otherwise flared tail gas resources at low cost and without expensive pipeline infrastructure, while also eliminating the greenhouse gas emissions these incinerated resources would otherwise generate.
“After successfully showcasing our technology at our 5,000 square-foot testing and development facility here in
The pilot is designed to produce up to 15,300 gallons of green methanol per year and may eventually lead to a full-scale, commercial system capable of producing up to 2,400,000 gallons of methanol annually at the same or similar sites.
Sean McClain, CEO of Montauk, commented, “For more than three decades, we’ve specialized in the recovery and processing of biogas from landfills and other non-fossil fuel sources. Working with Emvolon, we’re excited to leverage our expertise as one of the largest
