Founded in 2006, Carbon Recycling International is a private company headquartered in Kópavogur, Iceland specializing in Hydrogen, Other.
Carbon Recycling International is a global leader in CO2-to-methanol technology. Using its proprietary Emissions-to-Liquids (ETL) technology, CRI converts captured carbon dioxide and hydrogen into renewable methanol—a versatile fuel and chemical feedstock. The company pioneered industrial-scale CO2-to-methanol production with the George Olah plant in Iceland, commissioned in 2012. CRI now has over 200,000 tonnes per year of installed sustainable methanol production capacity under license globally, with major deployments in China and projects across Europe. The company provides technology licensing, project development, engineering, procurement, and lifetime technical support for methanol production facilities.
