Green Methanol is redefining the energy landscape—a renewable alternative to traditional methanol, produced from fossil fuels. By harnessing the power of biomass, CO₂ recycling, and green hydrogen, it offers a cleaner, sustainable pathway to fuel innovation.

Key Aspects of Green Methanol:

✨Production Process:

Green methanol is produced using renewable feedstocks like biomass, agricultural waste, or even CO₂ captured from industrial processes. The production typically involves using renewable electricity (such as wind or solar energy) to power electrolysis, which splits water into hydrogen. This hydrogen is then combined with carbon dioxide (CO₂) to produce methanol.

✨Renewable Sources:

- Biomass

- CO₂ Recycling

- Electrolysis

✨Environmental Benefits:

- Carbon Neutrality: Green methanol can be considered carbon-neutral because the CO₂ used to produce it is either captured or comes from renewable sources. This reduces the net carbon emissions compared to fossil-derived methanol.

- Renewable Energy: It reduces reliance on fossil fuels, supporting the transition to a more sustainable and circular energy system.

Green Methanol Market is anticipated to expand from USD 1.9 billion in 2024 to USD 11.1 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 33.8% from 2024 to 2030. The rising emphasis on cutting greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change is boosting demand for green methanol as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuel-derived methanol.
