PRECISION Methanol technology

Our PRECISION Methanol process is based on autothermal reforming, and it is the best solution for lighter feedstocks with low levels of CO2 and inert gases. It achieves high natural gas efficiency without the need to import H2, delivering low OPEX, economy of scale and the fastest pay-back time for medium to large methanol capacities.

Waste to methanol

Waste is a source of valuable carbon and hydrogen that can be transformed into methanol. This reduces the amount of waste destined to landfill and incineration and replaces natural gas and coal-based feedstocks, enabling the production of more sustainable fuels and chemicals with a lower carbon footprint.

CO2 to methanol

Methanol produced using electrolytic hydrogen is an attractive alternative and potentially carbon neutral fuel. It can be directly used as a road and maritime transportation fuel or as a low carbon intensity intermediate to produce Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) or green gasoline.

SWITCH Methanol technology

Johnson Matthey’s award-winning SWITCH Methanol process delivers minimal direct CO2 emissions without the additional investment, running costs and complexity of carbon capture. It is ready to receive renewable electricity and it enables methanol producers to meet their sustainability goals as we transition to a low-carbon economy.

FLEXI Methanol technology

Our FLEXI Methanol process is a robust technology for medium to large capacity plants which delivers consistent, high performance and which is used today in the most energy efficient methanol plants in the world.

PRIMARY Methanol technology

Our well-established PRIMARY Methanol process is an oxygen-free solution based on the use of a steam methane reformer (SMR). It is the technology of choice when the feedstock has a high CO2 content or a source of CO2 import is available, delivering up to 5,600 MTPD of methanol in a single train without an air separation unit.

Methanol and ammonia co-production

Partnering with KBR under a global strategic alliance, we license a ground-breaking ammonia-methanol co-production solution which combines our market leading technologies: Johnson Matthey’s PRIMARY Methanol process and KBR’s PURIFIER ammonia technology.

Methanol

Methanol is an important and highly versatile chemical used to produce hundreds of every-day products which improve our quality of life, such as plywood, paint and adhesives. It is also a clean-burning and safe alternative to conventional fuels and a potential enabler for decarbonization.

PGM Palladium

Palladium, although having the lowest melting point and being the least dense of all the PGMs, finds its way into many crucial applications. Whilst mainly used in catalytic converters, it is also an important catalyst for chemical markets. When combined with silver, palladium alloys are also used in medical, military and aerospace applications. In plating applications, it is often alloyed with nickel and gold to offer an excellent combination of conductivity, corrosion resistance and hardness.

PGM Rhodium

Rhodium’s high melting point, high temperature stability and corrosion resistance properties make it a key component in vehicle emission control, as well as glass/ production, and chemical catalysts.

PGM Ruthenium

Ruthenium is considered one of the earth's rarest metals. Its unique properties are particularly useful in electronic and electrochemical industrial applications.

PGM Iridium

Iridium is the rarest of the PGMs. It has a series of unique properties such as its high melting point, temperature stability and corrosion resistance, which make it vital in specialist applications.

Butanediol BDO THF GBL DMS process, Hydrogenolysis and Esterification technology

Johnson Matthey is the leading technology provider for butanediol plants worldwide. The DAVY™ butanediol process can produce in a single reaction train, varying ratios of three products; 1,4 butanediol (BDO), tetrahydrofuran (THF), Di-methyl succinate (DMS) and gamma butyrolactone (GBL). Hydrogenolysis is a reaction where hydrogen is added to a compound and breaks that compound’s bonds, forming two molecules as a result. Johnson Matthey's DAVY™ hydrogenolysis technology reacts hydrogen gas (H2) with a vapour-phase carbonyl compound. Esters are organic compounds characterized by the RCOOR’ functional group, and are most commonly derived from the reaction of carboxylic acids with alcohols.
