The green methanol newly built vessels delivery is expected to be 30 units in 2025 to 274 units in 2035, while the green methanol vessels that are retrofitted are expected to be 4 units in 2025 to 213 in 2035. The green methanol ships market is estimated to be USD 4.29 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 15.25 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 28.9% from 2025 to 2030 and USD 30.98 billion in 2035 at a CAGR of 12.2% from 2031 to 2035 with a CAGR of 21.9% from 2025-2035.
Green methanol ships represent one of the critical spearheads in paving the way towards the maritime transition towards sustainable fuel types. This low-carbon alternative fuel is produced from biomass, green hydrogen, and captured CO2 to produce a reduction in carbon emissions significantly more than those obtained with traditional marine fuels such as heavy fuel oil and liquefied natural gas. Fundamentals driving the expansion of the green methanol ships market include strategic investments in dual-fuel engine technology and vertical integration along the methanol supply chain, allowing firms to capitalize on the new boom for low-emission shipping solutions. Companies like HD Hyundai Heavy Industries (South Korea) and MAN Energy Solutions SE (Germany), are leading the market by developing dual-fuel engines that should place vessels into service on conventional fuels but are capable of accepting methanol. This should pave the way for the flexibility needed to meet strict environmental regulations, making it a breathtaking solution for shipping firms that are shifting towards sustainable operations. While, the green methanol value chain vertical integration strategy ensures a cost-effective as well as a reliable fuel supply necessary for scaling up the adoption of methanol-powered ships.
