In terms of product application, currently MTBE is the largest segment, hold a share of 54.8%.

Key Drivers:

Biomethanol, named "bio" because it is derived from a renewable resource, has the same chemical properties as conventional methanol. One of the advantages of biomethanol compared to conventional methanol is that it reduces fossil fuel and greenhouse gas emissions. It is a water-soluble and biodegradable clear liquid chemical that is a member of the alcohol class of organic chemicals.Biomethanol can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and avoid the social and environmental issues sometimes associated with biofuels. In terms of raw material production of biomethanol, it can use municipal solid waste and agricultural waste such as straw, as well as black water from the paper industry and other materials that have a greater impact on the environment, turning waste into treasure while reducing the use of petrochemical fuels. Environmental friendliness is outstanding.

With the increase in the price of fossil fuels such as gasoline, diesel, and natural gas in recent years, biomethanol has regained widespread attention in the market, especially in the European and American markets. In 2021, the United States made additional commitments to decarbonize shipping at the national and corporate levels, and the industry’s international interest in decarbonization increased exponentially.

Biomethanol could help accelerate the wider use of sustainable biofuels by serving as a chemical building block that can be used as a raw material for other bio-based materials and ingredients. It is environmentally friendly and is an attractive alternative energy source for powering vehicles and boats, as well as for residential purposes.

Key Restraints:

The market for renewable methanol is in the early stages of development and is being driven by an increased global focus on CO2 emissions reduction by governments, regulatory bodies and companies. For example, through regulations such as the Renewable Energy Directive II, European member states require fuel suppliers to deliver a minimum of 14 per cent of the energy consumed in road and rail transport by 2030 as renewable energy. In the private sector, companies are also seeking to reduce their CO2 emissions and meet voluntary targets through strategies that include purchasing carbon offsets through the small but growing voluntary carbon market.

While it represents less than one per cent of the market today, renewable methanol could play a growing and important role in supporting countries’ and companies’ emissions reduction targets in the future (source: International Renewable Energy Agency, Innovation Outlook: Renewable Methanol).

Challenges:

In most cases, the production cost of biomethanol is higher than the cost of gray methanol made from natural gas and higher than the cost of methanol made from coal. Especially in the context of rising energy prices, the cost pressure on biomethanol is increasing. According to Methanex's research, the unit production costs of different production companies vary due to different raw material selections, different production processes, different enterprise sizes, and different technical levels. In 2021, the production cost of biomethanol will be approximately US$455-1013 per ton.

Most advanced renewable fuel plants have relatively high capital costs and face financing difficulties. Even if the project successfully implements technology application and reduces and allocates technical and commercial risks, it will still be difficult to obtain financing for commercial scale promotion. Biomethanol plants require large areas to collect biomass to maintain supply and are typically smaller than current world-scale methanol plants.

In the long term, biomass will be able to meet most of the global energy demand, but there are some limitations, including issues such as land availability, competition with other crops (including food crops), impact on soil quality, soil erosion, Demand for water and fertilizers, biodiversity issues, land tenure, and emissions of pollutants to air and water.
