The production of methanol through biomass gasification is a hot topic in current research.

Compared to fossil-fuel hydrogen, the MPW-hydrogen and MSW-hydrogen cases are predicted to exhibit lower supply chain energy requirements with reductions of 56% and 82%, respectively. The fossil-fuel hydrogen case considers natural gas as feedstock, and this feedstock energy increases the overall supply chain energy requirements for the
Energy efficiency: Biomass-to-methanol processes can be efficient, but they usually have a lower overall efficiency compared to hydrogen production due to the extra step of synthesis. Storage: Methanol is easier to store and transport due to its liquid state at room temperature.

It produces carbon emissions that are only 20% of those from traditional energy sources, effectively addressing both oil scarcity and carbon neutrality. 4. Conclusions and prospects.
Depending on the gasification technology employed, significant quantities of water (H 2 O), CO 2, and methane (CH 4) can be present in the synthesis gas as well as several minor and trace components (Higman and van der Burgt, 2003).Under the substoichiometric-reducing conditions of the gasifier, most of the fuel''s sulfur converts to

Currently, various products have been obtained by CO 2 R, in which methanol (CH 3 OH) is one of the promising products as it has a high energy density and is considered as a cost-effective energy storage material and H 2 carrier.
