Overview

The liquefied variant of methane is known as methanol. The decomposition of organic matter produces this gas called methane. Methanol is a widely preferred energy alternative when compared to other modern-day gasoline products since the former releases the same amount of energy. Since, methanol is naturally present in wood and volcanic gases, it is also known as wood or methyl alcohol. Many petroleum products use methanol as an additive, which as a result enhances the performance of internal combustion engines.

Methanol is extensively applied in industry, chemicals, and transportation. Acetic acid, formaldehyde, and methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) are the three main derivatives of methanol. However, these days the global methanol market is witnessing high demand for methanol for fuel applications like biodiesel, dimethyl ether (DME), and the direct mixing of methanol in gasoline. About 40% of methanol consumption is directed towards producing formaldehyde, which is then used for manufacturing diverse commodities like paints, plastics, explosives, and plywood. Geographically, the global methanol market is driven by China which is the largest methanol market.

The global methanol market is driven by factors like easy availability of natural gas, and high methane producing capacity in plants. Methanol is abundantly available in nature because it is a decomposed form of organic matter.

Conversion of methane into the liquid form involves high costs which is a major growth inhibitor in the methane market. Furthermore, the current supply of methane is insufficient to meet the rising global demand for fuel.

Companies mentioned

Some of the prominent players in the global methane market are JSC "METAFRAX", BASF SE, Methanex Chile Ltd., Eastman Chemical Company, Atlantic Methanol Production Company LLC, and Celanese Corporation (U.S.).
