Frank Obrist, inventor, entrepreneur and visionary: “Green methanol is a renewable energy source that can replace all fossil fuels worldwide. As hard to imagine today as the iPhone was before its launch in 2007, green methanol will be as commonplace in 15 years as smartphones are today.”

Lindau/Germany, Lustenau/Austria – December 18 2024 – Renewable energy derived from air and sunlight, transportable and storable with the same ease as fossil fuels – this is no longer a utopian vision but a fully developed technical concept ready for large-scale industrial implementation. With these words, Frank Obrist, founder and CEO of the German-Austrian Obrist Group, advocates for his company’s plan to produce green methanol as a universal energy solution.

Frank Obrist states: “The world faces a dilemma: the escalating threat of global warming from continued fossil fuel use and the uncertainties of relying solely on wind and solar power for energy. The solution lies in solar energy – not as electricity, which is challenging to store and transport, but in the form of green methanol.”

CO2-Negative Equals Climate-Positive

In simple terms, the process involves extracting water from the air and using solar energy to convert it into hydrogen, which is then transformed into methanol. Methanol, a liquid at room temperature, can be stored for long periods in standard containers and easily transported via conventional methods such as pipelines, tankers, trains, or trucks. The key innovation: more CO2 is captured from the atmosphere during methanol production than is released during its combustion.

This Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology, developed and patented by Obrist, functions like a “CO2 vacuum,” removing carbon dioxide that has accumulated in the atmosphere over decades of industrial activity. Obrist refers to this product as aMethanol (Atmospheric Methanol) and describes the process as “sub-zero.” Unlike achieving net-zero emissions, this method goes further by actively reducing atmospheric CO2 levels, making the process CO2-negative and therefore climate-positive. 

Inventor, entrepreneur and visionary Frank Obrist: “In order to leave an intact climate for future generations, we need to capture the carbon dioxide emitted by the extensive use of fossil fuels, i.e. remove it from the atmosphere.” Obrist holds over 252 registered and 128 granted patents worldwide that are designed to do just that. The United Nations supports the concept.

“Many people can only envision possibilities once they’ve become reality,” says Frank Obrist, offering examples: “Twenty years ago, the smartphone was unimaginable until Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone in 2007. Similarly, Elon Musk’s idea of a battery-powered electric car was met with skepticism around 15 years ago—yet today, the European car industry is no longer laughing. In the same way, the concept of liquid solar energy may seem utopian to many, even though its implementation is already within reach.”

Green Methanol: A Cost-Effective Alternative to Fossil Fuels

Inventor and entrepreneur Frank Obrist refutes the occasional counter-argument that green methanol production is uneconomical. “Solar energy is almost free in the earth’s sun belt. If we set up methanol factories there, the cost of this renewable energy source, at just under 6 cents per kilowatt hour, will be significantly lower than all fossil fuels, even when transport costs are included,” he says. 

The German-Austrian industrial group is planning to build so-called Gigaplants, a type of giant solar park that will not supply electricity, but green methanol. Almost four million tons of methanol are to be produced per year on an area of around 280 square kilometers. At today’s energy prices, this corresponds to a sales volume of around 4.3 billion US dollars per year. The annual operating costs are estimated at around 340 million dollars, leaving a gross profit of almost four billion dollars a year. The construction costs for a Gigaplant, calculated at 18.6 billion dollars, would therefore be recouped in less than five years, which corresponds to an annual return on capital cost of over 21 per cent.

“The high profitability is key to attracting investors,” explains Frank Obrist. “Every investor should recognize that entering the Gigaplant business today is comparable to investing in Apple 20 years ago or Tesla 15 years ago in terms of financial potential.” Beyond the impressive return on investment, the climate impact is even more significant: a single Gigaplant is projected to remove over 6.2 million tons of CO2 from the atmosphere annually. According to estimates, 2,700 Gigaplants could entirely replace the world’s reliance on fossil fuels.

Obrist Group: The Obrist Group, founded by inventor and entrepreneur Frank Obrist, focuses on innovations for global, sustainable and CO2-reducing energy concepts. The spectrum ranges from the global supply of renewable energies to atmospheric fuels (aFuels) and innovative CO2-negative (i.e. climate-positive!) drive concepts for the automotive industry. With around 380 key patents, the Obrist Group is one of the world’s most important innovators in the field of sustainable energy concepts.

Kennesaw, Ga. December 11, 2024 – TPM Graphics, a full-service commercial printer in Arlington Heights, IL, recently installed a new Versafire LV from HEIDELBERG. This latest addition complements a Versafire EP installed in 2021. Designed to manage substantial monthly print volumes, the Versafire LV allows TPM Graphics to optimize its workload as it increasingly shifts towards digital production. This installation marks the company’s fifth Versafire purchase since 2013, underscoring its confidence in HEIDELBERG’s digital solutions and its commitment to delivering high-quality printed products for its clients.

TPM Graphics, who specializes in printing for the healthcare and insurance industries, recently completed upgrading and expanding various parts of its “production arsenal.” Started in 1985, the company began digital print production nearly fifteen years ago and installed its first HEIDELBERG digital press a few years later. Since then, TPM Graphics has regularly upgraded to the newest Versafire model at the end of each lease term, valuing the continuous technological advancements from HEIDELBERG as well as the reliable service and support it provides.

Its newest Versafire LV replaces an older model and allows the company to further enhance its digital production. Specializing in direct mail production, TPM Graphics manages a significant volume of variable data content. Now equipped with matching capabilities on both of its Versafire machines — like production of sheets up to 13 x 27.5 inches and 24 pt. in thickness — TPM Graphics can now efficiently schedule jobs across its equipment, which has helped the company significantly improve its turnaround times. 

With faster run speeds and the ability to produce a monthly average of 140,000 A3 pages, the Versafire LV is well-suited for longer print runs while also effectively managing the growing volume of short-run projects the company handles. Notably, the company has observed a growing demand for unique QR codes that direct end users to personalized URLs.

“HEIDELBERG continues to close the quality gap between digital and offset printing with each generation of Versafire,” said Paul Mongoven, President of TPM Graphics. The technological advancements and improvements in quality have led the company to transition more jobs from offset presses, with digital production now making up nearly 40% of its business, up from 30% just two years ago. With greater production flexibility, Mongoven noted that his “clients’ budgets” now determine which printing process is used for their projects.

TPM Graphics utilizes Prinect to color manage both its HEIDELBERG Speedmaster presses and Versafire digital presses, ensuring consistent results when running jobs for the same customer across different printing technologies. “It’s a valuable sales tool for us,” said Mongoven. “Clients can trust that their colors will match when a large job requires both offset and digital printing.”

The company employs a full range of HEIDELBERG solutions, which also includes the Suprasetter CtP, POLAR cutters, a Stahlfolder, Prinect workflow, and Saphira consumables. “We remain committed to our partnership with HEIDELBERG across all aspects, from color management to bindery,” said Mongoven. “As we both evolve, we intend to continue growing with HEIDELBERG, especially their digital offerings, which allow us to deliver the high level of quality and speed that our clients demand.”

Third Generation Specialty Jarred Goods Producer Turns to Epson for High-Quality Color Product Labels that Reflect the Quality of its Brand and Products

LOS ALAMITOS, Calif. – Dec. 10, 2024 – Epson America, Inc. today announced Grandma’s Jam House, a family-owned producer of artisanal jams and jarred goods, upgraded its product labeling with ColorWorks^® on-demand color label printers. Printing hundreds of small-batch labels daily for its various jarred goods – jams, jellies, pickles, salsas, honeys, and more – the company sought out Epson for a solution it could rely on to produce labels with vibrant colors and custom designs that reflect the heart of its brand. 

“Our previous label printer would have banding issues and no maintenance, troubleshooting or customer support could fix it,” said Tony Kanagy, manager, Grandma’s Jam House. “The labels would deteriorate and fade very quickly and have lines through them, diminishing the perceived quality and appearance of our time-honored products. After investing in thousands of dollars of equipment with no improvements, we needed a solution we could rely on that was going to make high-quality color labels without costing too much.”

To elevate its product packaging and help ensure high-quality, durable labels, Grandma’s Jam House approached Kenco Label & Tag for help. Kanagy was referred to the ColorWorks CW-C6000A color label printer to deliver up to 4-inch labels and print speeds of up to 5-inches per second¹ to accommodate its short-run batches and versatile line of products. With up to 1200 dpi resolution, the CW-C6000A produces crisp images comparable to pre-printed labels and has an auto cutter for easy job separation. Kanagy onboarded the ColorWorks CW-C7500 inkjet label printer to accommodate growth and support larger batch needs. 

“We are very happy with our ColorWorks printers because they integrated easily, are easy to use and they consistently print high-quality color labels in a short amount of time,” shared Kanagy. “We can hit ‘print’ on a job of 1,200 labels, walk away and not have to worry, and be pleased when the labels are done, knowing they are accurate and great quality.”

“An added benefit is that we no longer take up space with piles of pre-printed labels that would ultimately go to waste due to fading or end up wasting labels due to required re-prints,” Kanagy continued. “In addition, the remote printer management function has allowed us to spend more time in other areas of production rather than supervising the label printing process.”

The logistics department of the business has also made use of the ColorWorks printers to create shipping labels and courier-specific labels to help ensure accurate and timely deliveries. “Once we had the ability to produce more durable labels, we began using the ColorWorks printers for more than just label printing, including outgoing shipping labels to streamline order fulfillment and miscellaneous warehouse-related labels for product inventory organization,” said Kanagy. “Ultimately, the ColorWorks has been beneficial to our business in multiple ways.”

“The ColorWorks printers are flexible powerhouses, each with added features and functionality tailored for a range of labeling applications,” said Stevi Sterns, product manager, Epson America, Inc. ” Efficiency, quality and customization are crucial in labeling operations, and we are thrilled to provide the technology to help Grandma’s Jam House confidently improve its product labeling while maintaining the high standards that its customers love.”
