[Gasification] CO2 + H2 to methanol?

[Brian and Cara Paasch]

I did some Google searching for methanol synthesis from H2 and CO2 a  
couple years ago.  I found commercially available catalysts at Haldor  
Topsoe where CO2 was the reactant carbon oxide.  I called their  
customer service folk and had a couple of good conversations with them.

Maybe give their website a look and see what is there.  http://
