Global warming and climate change concerns have powered global efforts to reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide capture utilization (CCU) is considered one of the possible strategies applicable in order to reach CO2 emission reduction targets. The aim of this work is to assess via techno-economic and environmental metrics the production of methanol (MeOH) using H2O and flue gas as raw materials, from which H2 through electrolysis and CO2 through carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) process are derived, respectively. The attention has been focused on the CCU process. In particular, it has been modelled taking as reference a pilot plant studied by Notz et al.
