Cuts particulate emissions and eliminates NOx and SOx, supporting cleaner operations and compliance with environmental regulations.
Many ships can run on both conventional fuels and methanol, allowing for a smooth transition to cleaner alternatives.
Methanol (CH₃OH) is a simple alcohol and an efficient hydrogen carrier with significant potential in green energy applications. Renewable methanol that is nearly carbon-neutral, can be produced through biomass gasification or CO2 hydrogenation. This renewable form offers a sustainable alternative to conventional methanol produced from fossil feedstocks, due to its role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Renewable methanol is sustainable fuel, enabling decarbonisation of hard-to-abate sectors, including maritime, power generation, and industrial applications. As a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels, renewable methanol offers several significant benefits.
