The Methanol Institute (MI) commissioned TIAX, a lab-based technology company in California focused on advancing innovations in energy storage and transportation (among other things), to write a report on how methanol can be produced renewably in order to reduce transportation sector greenhouse gas emissions. From Blue Fuel Energy’s perspective, MI’s interest in highlighting renewable methanol is a very positive development in and of itself. Even more positive are the contents of the report, titled Methanol as a Renewable Energy Resource and released in January of this year. The report makes it clear that the production of renewable methanol using a diverse range of feedstocks (including CO2) is gaining a foothold in various parts of the world, including the Netherlands (BioMCN), Canada (Blue Fuel Energy and Enerkem), Iceland (Carbon Recycling International), and Sweden (VarmlandsMetanol).
