The technical and economic consequences of using coke oven gas (COG) to produce methanol (MeOH) to be used as automotive fuel were studied. In a case study of a steel mill, two of the four different production processes considered used COG, while the other two systems used biomass based synthesis gas to blend with the COG. With the assumed amount of available COG at the steel mill, nearly 300 Gw-hr/yr of MeOH could be produced, using the SMR production system. When 420 Gw-hr/yr of biomass for synthesis gas production were blended with the COG, another 270 Gw-hr/yr of MeOH can be produced. The use of COG to produce MeOH is cost efficient, and has the potential of reducing the specific CO2 emission in the range of 25-65% compared to fossil gasoline, depending on the amount of biomass included in the system setup. The integration of a motor fuel refinery in the steel industry may give benefits, e.g., better energy storage possibilities and increased incentives to utilize residual heat. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 18th International Congress of Chemical and Process Engineering (Prague, Czech Republic 8/24-28/2008).
