Insights Presented in the Report

“Amongst feedstock, CO2 emission category is to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period”

Based on feedstock, the market is segmented into agricultural waste, forestry residues, municipal solid waste, CO2 emission, and others. The CO2 emission category is to witness higher CAGR during the forecast period because it is simpler and more readily available than with other feedstocks. Additionally, it helps industries in profit-making and adhering to environmental rules on the decrease of carbon dioxide emissions. Furthermore, the initiatives taken by the government are aiding the growth of the CO2 emission market. For instance, In August 2022, European Energy signed an agreement with Anaergia for the supply of up to 60,000 metric tons per year of liquefied biogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) for a period of the next ten years. Where European Energy use this CO2 to produce e-methanol for A.P. Moller – Maersk as part of their previously signed agreement in March 2022.

“Amongst application, formaldehyde to hold a significant share of the market in 2020”

On the basis of application, the market is categorized into formaldehyde, methyl-tert-butyl-ether, gasoline, solvent, and others. Among these, formaldehyde to hold a significant share of the market in 2020. This is mainly due to the advantages formaldehyde offers as compared to its counterparts. Formaldehyde has been witnessing higher adoption as most glues for plywood, chipboard, or particleboard, furniture production, and the building industry are made with formaldehyde-based resins. In addition, the demand for formaldehyde is rising as the building sector expands in both developed and emerging nations which is driving the growth of the market.

“Amongst end-user, the transportation category is to witness the highest adoption of green methanol during the forecast period”

Based on end-user, the green methanol market has been classified into chemical, transportation, power generation, and others. The transportation category is to witness higher adoption of green methanol during the forecast period. This is mainly due to the rising emphasis on the decarbonization of the marine industry. Additionally, it is also used as a fuel for vehicles and as a means of storing renewable energy. It is projected that the demand for green methanol from the transportation sector will increase because of the rising price and decreasing supply of conventional fuels like gasoline and diesel during the forecasted period.

 “APAC to hold a significant share in the market”

In 2020, APAC is anticipated to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. This is mainly because green methanol is in higher demand in developing economies like China, India, Japan, and South Korea because of the rapidly expanding methanol consumption by the construction, automotive, and chemical industries. In addition, the government taking initiatives to increase the use of renewable fuel sources is driving the demand in the market. Furthermore, various market players across the globe are investing in green methanol R&D for the use of various end-user industries. For instance, Geely Holding Group and Jilin Zixin Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd are generating green methanol in their respective production facilities to support sustainable E-Fuels.
