Scaling up Hydrogen | The case for Low Carbon Methanol
Low-carbon methanol could become the most important source of demand for clean hydrogen in the near term.
Not only is it a large chemical market that needs decarbonizing, but low-carbon methanol is also the most readily available
option for the shipping sector to reduce its emissions.
Regulations in the European Union and the net-zero goal of the International Maritime
The planned capacity of low-carbon methanol projects globally could consume 1.65 million metric tons of clean hydrogen annually.
This whitepaper provides an overview of hydrogen’s role in methanol production, and outlines potential commercial and policy
considerations that, if implemented, could bring forward the timeline for cost-competitive clean methanol
