Green Methanol Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2023-2030)

Report Description

Green Methanol market was valued at USD 225.1 million in 2022 & is expected to grow at a CAGR of 53.8% from 2023-2030. This is mainly owing to the government programs and incentives to promote cleaner renewable and increasing consumption of renewable fuel globally. The green methanol industry experienced tremendous growth in the past decade and is further anticipated to grow rapidly in upcoming years has led to the increasing adoption of green methanol in the market. End-user industries such as automotive, chemical, aviation, and others are becoming the major consumers of green methanol, as it is a more sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional fossil fuels.

The global green methanol market is a rapidly growing market due to the increasing demand for sustainable and renewable energy sources. Green methanol is a more sustainable and functionally equivalent alternative to conventional methanol, and demand is expected to grow significantly as the world focuses on reducing carbon emissions. Metanex, the world’s largest methanol producer, estimates that global methanol demand will be about 88 million tons in 2022, and is expected to increase by about 3%, or more than 14 million tons, over the next five years. A gradual switch to renewable methanol will support this increase. Demand for green methanol, is projected to grow substantially on the back of its growing popularity primarily as a marine fuel as the world focuses on cutting down carbon emissions.

Some of the major players operating in the market are Advanced Chemical Technologies, BASF SE, Carbon Recycling International, Enerkem, Fraunhofer, Innogy, Nordic Green, OCI N.V., Sodra, and Uniper SE.

Several M&As along with partnerships have been undertaken by these players to facilitate customers with hi-tech and innovative products/technologies.

Insights Presented in the Report

“Amongst End-User, the Transportation segment held a dominating share of the market in 2022”

Based on End User, the Green Methanol market is divided into Transportation, Power Generation, and Industrial Feedstock segments. The transportation segment acquired a significant share in the Green Methanol market and is expected to showcase a substantial growth rate during the forecast period. Green methanol is used as an energy carrier for storing renewable electricity and transportation fuel. The automotive industry uses green methanol as a fuel because of its high-octane rating and the highest hydrogen-to-carbon ratio of any liquid fuel. Several projects are underway to develop innovative processes to convert CO2 into renewable methanol. This makes the production of green methanol from CO2 hydrogenation easier, more energy, and cost-efficient. For instance, Berlin-based climate technology startup C1 has announced the launch of the Leuna100 project with its partners. The aim of this project is the scalable production of market-ready green methanol for marine and aviation applications.

“Europe dominated the Green Methanol market in 2022”

Europe dominates the green methanol market due to the presence of several leading companies, such as Carbon Recycling International (CRI), European Energy, and Liquid Wind AB, in the region. In 2023, the European Parliament and the European Council agreed to increase the maritime transport sector`s contribution to the European Union Green Deal, which aims to EU reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels, and reach climate neutrality by 2050. Almost all forms of methanol are expected to play a crucial role in decarbonizing the shipping sector by 2050 and much greater quantities of fully sustainable green methanol will be available as capacities scale up. Massive Green Methanol projects are being undertaken in the region with companies such as Vordingborg Biofuel ApS (300,000 mt/year), Dow (200,000 mt/year), Enerkem (220,000 mt/year) and Vycat & Hynamics (200,000 mt/year) constructing the highest capacity rated green methanol plants in Europe.
