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.
