A purpose of the methanol synthesis by ICR (Internal Condensation Reactor) system is to raise the energy efficiency in the process. ICR system can reduce the energy that is used in a feed compressor and a recycling compressor. This paper reports estimated energy consumption and GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emissions that ICR system can reduce in whole lifecycle of methanol. Even if a process of the methanol synthesis is improved by an ICR system, the reduction effect of energy consumption and GHG emissions is restrictive, because a material resource of methanol is natural gas.
