Methanol is one of the most versatile molecules in the energy transition. It powers marine vessels, enables chemical synthesis, and plays a growing role in e-fuels and hydrogen carriers. However, conventional methanol production is emissions-intensive and increasingly incompatible with renewable fuel directives and low-carbon standards.
As industries move toward decarbonization, the demand for sustainable methanol is rising—especially in sectors like maritime transport, aviation, and industrial chemistry.
Industrial Applications of Methanol
Nextchem’s methanol technologies are designed for:
- Marine and aviation fuels (SAF, e-fuels)
- Chemical synthesis and polyolefins (MTO, DME routes)
- Hydrogen carriers and energy storage
- Circular economy and waste valorization
- Brownfield upgrades and new greenfield projects
