* In Iceland the company Carbon Recycling International operates a plant for production of e-Methanol of CO from a geothermal plant with a methanol manufacturing capacity of more than 4000 t/a. The plant was named after George Olah.
* BioMCN from Netherlands has a production capacity of more than 60 000 t/a for production of renewable methanol (biomethanol and e-Methanol)
* BASF produces methanol of renewable resources named EU-REDcert methanol using waste based biomass.
* In May 2019 a demonstration plant was started in Germany in Niederaußem with a daily production capacity of one ton as part of the project MefCO. The methanol was used for denitrification in a waste water treatment facility.
* In Germany there is a project called Carbon2Chem of Thyssenkrupp to produce methanol from smelter gases.
* Within the scope of the consortium Power to Methanol Antwerp BV consisting of ENGIE, Fluxys, Indaver, INOVYN, Oiltanking, PMV and Port of Antwerp a plant for production of 8000 t/a renewable methanol shall be built. The CO for the production of the e-methanol shall be separated by Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) from emissions.
* Wacker Chemie AG from Germany plans as part of a submitted funding project (RHYME) to build a plant for production of green hydrogen and renewable methanol (as of April 2021). For synthesis of methanol of green hydrogen the CO shall be originated from production processes of the chemical site and perhaps of other industrial processes (e.g. CO from cement plants). 15 000 t/a of renewable methanol shall be produced which shall be used for company internal production processes (e.g. synthesis of silicones) as well as for selling as a fuel.
* At site Örnsköldsvik in Sweden the consortium Liquid Wind together with Worley plan a plant with a production capacity of 50 000 t/a for renewable e-Methanol (as of May 2021). The CO shall be originated from a biomass plant. Until 2050 Liquid Wind wants to build 500 similar plants. Members of the consortium are Alfa Laval, Haldor Topsoe, Carbon Clean and Siemens Energy.
* Total Energies (the largest methanol producer in Europe with production capacity of 700 000 t/a) starts the project e-CO2Met for production of renewable methanol in Leuna, Germany (as of June 2021). Hereby a 1 MW high temperature electrolyzer shall be used. The CO for the methanol production shall be originated from production processes of a refinery.
