               Methanol Market


Methanol (CH3OH), often known as wood alcohol, is a colourless, volatile, light liquid alcohol with a characteristic odour. It consists of a methyl group coupled to a hydroxy group and is the most basic kind of alcohol. Methanol is now made by mixing carbon monoxide gas with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst, rather than by destructive distillation of wood. It is miscible in a variety of solvents, including water, alcohol, ether, and ketones, and has a low rate of evaporation and radiant heat energy. It is frequently employed as a general solvent and in the production of resins, medicines, and perfumes due to these qualities.

Increasing use of methanol as a blended fuel in various transportation systems as a result of environmental concerns; this aspect is projected to drive market expansion. The depletion of natural resources for use as a fuel has resulted in an increase in demand for various alternative products and solutions, which is projected to drive Methanol Market growth. Due to a lack of practical and effective technology, the high cost of converting methane into liquids for use in various applications and end-users is likely to limit market growth.

The need for methanol for the synthesis of dimethyl ether and Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), which are used as gasoline substitutes, is predicted to increase. DME is utilised in passenger vehicles as a fuel (diesel) and as an aerosol propellant, and it is also blended into Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG).
