Power-to-Methanol (PtM): Green Methanol's Crucial Role in Storing Excess Renewable Energy


Dublin, Oct. 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Green Methanol Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast 2018-2028F" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global green methanol market is set to experience substantial growth, with a projected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 12.82%, reaching an estimated value of approximately $387.92 million by 2028.

This surge is primarily attributed to the rising awareness of global warming and the growing demand for eco-friendly fuel alternatives. Notably, in 2021, global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels and industry reached a staggering 33.67 billion metric tonnes.

Sustainable Green Methanol: Fueling the Future

Green methanol emerges as a sustainable solution with versatile applications, serving as a clean fuel source, a feedstock for various chemical industries, and a renewable energy storage solution. What sets green methanol apart is its scalability and ease of transportation, making it an attractive choice for energy storage across both small and large-scale applications. This scalability facilitates the integration of renewable energy sources into multiple sectors.

Transforming the Chemical Sector

The chemical industry, a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, is turning to green methanol as a game-changer. Unlike conventional methanol production, which emits substantial carbon dioxide, green methanol is produced using renewable energy sources and sustainable feedstocks. Key sources of green methanol include biomass, captured CO2, and waste gases from industrial processes. This shift drastically reduces the carbon footprint of the chemical industry, making green methanol a sustainable feedstock alternative.

Meeting Renewable Energy Storage Demands

Green methanol's adaptability positions it as an optimal solution for renewable energy storage. Renewable energy sources like solar and wind often generate excess energy when demand is low. Green methanol, through a process known as Power-to-Methanol (PtM), allows surplus renewable energy to be converted into green methanol. This stored green methanol can be efficiently utilized when needed, serving as an effective means of storing renewable energy.

Regulatory Compliance Driving Adoption

Stringent environmental regulations aimed at reducing carbon emissions are propelling the adoption of green methanol. With its low-carbon properties, green methanol aligns perfectly with industries seeking to meet emissions reduction targets. It not only reduces carbon emissions but also recycles CO2 from the atmosphere or industrial emissions, closing the carbon loop and contributing to a greener environment.
