Primary uses for methanol are as chemical feedstock and transportation fuel.
Similar to ammonia, methanol production requires hydrogen in very large quantities, which is typically derived from natural gas resulting in a large CO2 footprint.
Hydrogen produced by a large scale electrolyser using renewable electricity can be used to transition away from fossil fuels and so decarbonise the methanol production process.
