GLOBAL PROJECTS

CRI was the first company to produce liquid methanol at industrial scale from CO₂ in 2012. Years of industrial-scale operation, together with partnerships on pilot projects and strategic joint ventures, have advanced our proprietary process technology as well as our project and service capabilities.
Our unique experience allows CRI to deliver groundbreaking projects at commercial scale, including the largest and the most efficient CO₂-to-methanol plants in the world.

Tianying

Carbon Recycling International (CRI) is pleased to announce the signing of a landmark agreement with Tianying Group to leverage its methanol synthesis technology in its large-scale E-methanol production project in Liaoyuan. This marks China’s first large-scale project utilising CRI’s proprietary technology for the production of E-methanol from carbon dioxide. The plant will be the third commercial sized plant commissioned utilising CRI’s technology for methanol production in China.
