Why Methanol
Methanol is a versatile molecule that can serve as a fuel, a chemical feedstock, and a liquid energy carrier.
One of the most widely used chemical products globally, methanol plays an important role in energy and industrial systems. As a liquid, it can be stored and transported more easily than alternative options, making it practical for global supply chains and existing infrastructure
Three Types of Low-Carbon Methanol
All types of methanol are chemically identical, but the feedstocks, energy sources and production pathways differ, influencing the overall carbon footprint.
