What is Methanol?

Methanol, also known as methyl alcohol or wood alcohol, is the simplest form of alcohol with the chemical formula CH₃OH. It is a light, volatile, colorless, and flammable liquid with a slightly sweet odor. Historically produced by the destructive distillation of wood, modern methanol is primarily synthesized from carbon monoxide and hydrogen gases over a catalyst. Methanol serves as a crucial feedstock in the chemical industry, used to manufacture formaldehyde, acetic acid, and various other chemicals. It is also utilized as a solvent, antifreeze, and fuel. In the energy sector, methanol is gaining attention as a clean-burning alternative fuel for vehicles and ships, as well as a potential hydrogen carrier for fuel cells. However, methanol is highly toxic to humans; ingestion can lead to severe health issues, including blindness and death. Due to its toxicity, methanol is often used to denature ethanol, making it unfit for consumption.

Market Trend and Drivers of Methanol:

The methanol market is experiencing significant growth driven by its versatile applications across various industries. In the automotive and marine sectors, methanol is increasingly used as a cleaner-burning fuel alternative, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and comply with stringent environmental regulations. The International Maritime Organization's limits on sulfur emissions have particularly spurred the adoption of methanol in shipping. Additionally, methanol serves as a key feedstock in the production of chemicals like formaldehyde and acetic acid, which are essential in manufacturing plastics, resins, and adhesives. The rise of methanol-to-olefins (MTO) technology, especially in Asia, has further expanded methanol's role in producing ethylene and propylene for the plastics industry.
