Also known as methyl alcohol, wood alcohol, and carbinol.
chemXplore tracks 47 projects involving methanol, of which 30 are active.
45 produce it and 2 use it as feedstock.
Of the active ones, 30 new construction.
8 active projects carry no start-up date yet. The dates themselves, per project, are for subscribers.
MoU to assess local renewable hydrogen supply for a planned Delfzijl biomethanol plant, targeting roughly 12,000 tonnes H2 per year to boost biomethanol yields.
