With the global shipping industry transitioning to lower-emission fuels, methanol has emerged as a leading alternative fuel. Safe, proven, practical, cleaner burning, cost effective, and already available in major ports around the world, the shipping industry is increasingly turning its attention to methanol with the number of methanol-powered vessels on the water expected to grow in the coming years. One of the initial drivers for using methanol is its clean burning properties to meet increasingly stringent air quality emissions in the maritime sector. Compared to conventional marine fuels, methanol reduces emissions of sulfur oxides (SOx) and particulate matter (PM) by more than 95%, reduces nitrogen oxides (NOx) by up to 80%, and meets Tier Ⅲ NOx standards without after treatment. |
