In recent years, energy demand has continued to increase. Fossil fuels are one of the main sources of energy. Excessive consumption of fossil fuels is a global concern, due to the negative environmental effects of fossil fuels (i.e., CO2 emission and a decrease in their sources). Therefore, it is essential to replace fossil fuels with renewable and clean-burning fuels. Recently, methanol has been introduced as a novel clean-burning fuel and useful raw chemical for different industries. For these reasons, new methanol-synthesis methods have been introduced in the current research. In this study, methanol synthesis processes by thermally coupled, thermally double-coupled, thermally coupled membrane, thermally coupled double-membrane, thermally double coupled two-membrane, slurry bubble-column, fluidized-bed, and thermally coupled dual-methanol reactors have been proposed. The efficiencies of these methods are compared with each other and also with conventional methanol reactors to find the advantages and drawbacks of each process.
