Fueling the Future: The Methanol-to-Gasoline (MTG) Process
The Methanol-to-Gasoline (MTG) process represents a fascinating and strategically important technological pathway that converts methanol, a versatile chemical intermediate, directly into high-octane gasoline. Developed primarily by Mobil (now ExxonMobil) in the 1970s, this catalytic process offers a viable route to produce liquid transportation fuels from non-petroleum feedstocks, particularly natural gas, coal, or even biomass, all of which can be converted into synthesis gas and then methanol.
The core of the MTG process lies in the use of specific zeolitic catalysts, most famously ZSM-5. The overall reaction proceeds in several steps within a fixed-bed or fluidized-bed reactor. Initially, methanol is dehydrated to dimethylether (DME) and water. Subsequently, both methanol…
