Zaključna naloga obravnava problem shranjevanja presežne obnovljive energije z obnovljivim metanolom kot tekočim nosilcem energije. Metodologija temelji na pregledu literature in primerjavi treh procesnih poti: biometanola iz biomase, biometanola iz bioplina oziroma biometana ter e-metanola iz zelenega vodika in CO₂. Ugotovljeno je, da se poti najbolj razlikujejo v pripravi surovin, energijskih zahtevah in tehnoloških omejitvah. Najprimernejša pot je odvisna od lokalnih virov in namena uporabe.

• Title: Comparison of renewable methanol production technologies for energy storage

Abstract

This thesis addresses the problem of storing surplus renewable energy using renewable methanol as a liquid energy carrier. The methodology is based on a literature review and comparison of three process pathways: biomethanol from biomass, biomethanol from biogas or biomethane, and e-methanol from green hydrogen and CO₂. The results show that the pathways differ mainly in feedstock preparation, energy requirements and technological limitations. The most suitable pathway depends on local resources and the intended use.
