A large share of the heat needed for methanol distillation can be recovered from the heat generated in the synthesis plant.
“It has been estimated that a large share of the heat needed for distillation can be recovered from the heat generated in the synthesis plant [5].”
From Locked in on RFNBOs – Will EU mandates for drop-in synthetic aviation fuels lead to decreased energy- and cost-efficiency? (2026) · cites this paper as [5]
Section 4.1.2 (page unavailable) reports that thermal integration recovers about 4,588 kW and reduces the plant’s external heating demand by 81%; nearly all remaining heating is for reactant preheating. Section 4.1.1 identifies heat released when the synthesis products are cooled before distillation. The copy does not establish what share of the distillation heating demand is supplied specifically by heat from the synthesis plant. (LLM, conf=0.77)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredIn the CHP route, the oxygen is not consumed and could be sold as a byproduct.

From Locked in on RFNBOs – Will EU mandates for drop-in synthetic aviation fuels lead to decreased energy- and cost-efficiency? (2026) · cites this paper as [5]
Section 4.3.4 says oxygen is produced as a byproduct of water electrolysis and considers selling it rather than venting it. The paper analyzes a Power-to-MeOH plant, however, and does not establish that oxygen is unconsumed specifically in a CHP route (searched: “CHP” and “combined heat and power”). Page numbers are unavailable in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
