Market Definition
Green methanol ships are commercial vessels that are fueled by green methanol; these are renewables, low-carbon alternative fuels for the conventional marine fuels used in heavy fuel oil or liquefied natural gas. It is manufactured using sustainable feedstocks like biomass, renewable electricity, and captured carbon dioxide (CO2). It represents one of the mainstays of decarbonizing the maritime industry.
This market will encompass all types of cargo ships, passenger ships, as well as other commercial vessels that can be turned into a methanol-fueled vessel due to its combustion profile, storage properties, and scalability. Green methanol has the highest potential for long-haul routes because it offers energy density, potentially being significantly more efficient than battery- or hydrogen-based fuel.
