Bio-methanol from Biowaste using Innovative catalyst technolgy
Hydrogen and Methanol are widely recognized as promising alternative fuels to decarbonize our world — but only when produced with a low carbon footprint. Conventional production methods, such as Steam Methane Reforming (SMR), are associated with high CO₂ emissions, resulting in what is commonly known as ‘grey’ hydrogen.
CRecTech is changing that. Our breakthrough lies in a novel catalyst technology that significantly reduces CO₂ emissions during the production of hydrogen and methanol. Unlike traditional approaches that rely on expensive carbon capture and storage (CCS), our proprietary catalyst enables a cleaner, more cost-effective pathway to greener fuels.
With CRecTech’s innovation, truly low-carbon hydrogen and methanol are no longer a distant goal — they are within reach.
Steam Methane
Reforming Problems
CRecTech’s solutions revolve around lowering CO2 emissions without expensive carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, and yet still achieve greener alternative fuels production.
Two Processes
CRecTech is pioneering low-carbon solutions through two key innovations: its advanced Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) process using the CRecREF catalyst, which reduces fuel use, water consumption, and CO₂ emissions; and its Bio-Methanol Process, which converts biogenic or waste feedstocks into renewable methanol. Together, these technologies enable cleaner methanol production, supporting a more sustainable and circular energy future.

Low Carbon Steam Methane Reforming
CRecTech has developed a novel Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) catalyst technology for low-carbon hydrogen production. Our novel CRecREF catalysts have superior protection against catalyst deactivation, thus allowing unprecedented dryer Steam Methane Reforming with lesser steam input for greater day-to-day operational savings.
Why CRecREF Catalyst?
> 3% Fuel Savings
Thanks to its enhanced thermal efficiency and optimized reforming kinetics, the CRecREF catalyst significantly reduces fuel consumption during the reforming process
> 40% Water Savings
Our catalyst enables dryer SMR operation by functioning effectively at lower steam-to-carbon ratios. This results in massive water savings, reducing strain on utility systems
> 10% Less CO2 Emissions
By reducing both fuel and steam input, CRecREF minimizes the carbon footprint of hydrogen production. With up to 10% lower CO₂ emissions, it supports cleaner industrial processes

New-generation Bio-methanol Catalytic Technology
Scalability
Our technology relies on today's matured and proven catalytic technologies with minimal twist.
Cost-effectiveness
With our one-of-a-kind catalytic process, the cost of our renewable methanol is far lower than that of e-methanol that is produced from green hydrogen and captured CO2 as well as existing biomass-derived methanol production methods.
Marine Methanol Grade Quality
Quality of our bio-methanol is not compromised, and it is expected for direct use in methanol-compatible engines.
Renewable methanol, a promising maritime fuel
The biggest challenge in widespread use of renewable methanol is expensive and complicated manufacturing, wherein the adoption of methanol as a fuel will erode profits and addition cost may pass onto consumers. In CRecTech, we acknowledge the importance of low-cost renewable methanol, and we have a unique solution to address this.
