    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing monoethylene glycol (MEG) via the metal-catalysed reaction of an oxalic acid dialkyl ester of formula (I), in which R
    1 and R
    2 each independently of one another represent methyl, ethyl, n-propyl or iso-propyl groups, with hydrogen (H
    2 ), wherein the oxalic acid dialkyl ester (I) is used in the form of a melt or dissolved in a solvent, oxalic acid dialkyl ester (I) and H
    2 are used in a molar ratio of H
    2 :oxalic acid dialkyl ester (I) in the region of 4.0 to 30, and the reaction is carried out continuously in a reactor at a sectional density of ≥ 10 m/s, a temperature in the region of 150 to 270°C, a pressure in the region of 150 to 390 bar and in the presence of a chrome-free, heterogeneous, copper-containing catalyst.
