1. A process for the production of methanol from hydrogran and carbon monoxide, the process comprising:
contacting the hydrogen and carbon monoxide, which are both in gaseous form, with a liquid in at least one bubble or loop or jet loop reactor, wherein the liquid comprises at least one solvent, an alcohol and/or an amine as a nucleophilic promoter, optionally at least an additional base and a catalyst, the catalyst comprising a transition metal and at least one Lewis base ligand, wherein at least one device is provided for heat removal from the reactor, and wherein the methanol is formed as a product.
