Methanol  is a safe, clean-burning, cost-effective, globally available  marine fuel. It is available in over 120 ports worldwide and is among the lowest emission fuels for marine engines.  Methanol complies with International Maritime Organization (IMO) 2020 regulations, supporting vessel owners and operators to reach IMO2030 and IMO2050 CO2 reduction goals.

As a marine fuel, methanol virtually eliminates sulphur oxides (SOx) and particulate matter (PM), and reduces nitrogen oxides by up to 80%. Methanol produced from natural gas represents a 10-15% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions compared to traditional marine fuels, and is also biodegradable, making it far less damaging for the environment compared to conventional marine fuels. Methanol is widely available at ports worldwide, as part of established infrastructure, and requires minimal adjustment to existing engine technologies when used as a fuel.

Production of ‘green’ methanol from sustainable sources such as waste, bio-mass or renewable energy is also growing and highly scalable, and when used as a marine fuel reduces CO2 emissions by over 90%, making methanol a truly future-proof shipping fuel.
