[Gasification] CO2 + H2 to methanol?

[Greg and April]

I was reading back through a book about methanol I bought a few yrs ago ( Methanol by Perry & Perry ), and it mentioned a process that allowed the manufacture of methanol with CO2 and H2, rather than what I would call the classic method, of using a mix of CO, CO2, and H2.

The name to the process was called Seafuel Synthesis Process ( SSP ), but I have not been able to find any information on the internet.

I'm thinking that this might be something useable with gasification as if there is one thing that gasifiers make real well, it's CO2.

Can anyone help me track down more information on the process?
