Methanol is a safe, cost-effective, globally available marine fuel. With the growing demand for cleaner marine fuel, methanol is an alternative fuel for ships that helps the shipping industry meet increasingly strict emissions regulations. Methanol significantly reduces emissions of sulfur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter. The ability to be produced from renewable sources offers a pathway to meeting future emissions regulations without further shipowner investment.

Methanol is available worldwide through existing global infrastructure. The cost to build new and convert existing vessels to run on methanol is significantly less than alternate fuel conversions.
