The Market Reports

Synopsis
The global market for E-methanol was estimated to be worth US$ 462 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 44290 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 82.6% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
This report provides a comprehensive assessment of recent tariff adjustments and international strategic countermeasures on E-methanol cross-border industrial footprints, capital allocation patterns, regional economic interdependencies, and supply chain reconfigurations.
E-Methanol, also known as green methanol or renewable methanol, represents the next step in sustainable fuel technology. It is produced through environmentally friendly processes that utilize renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, or hydroelectric power, to convert carbon dioxide and water into methanol. This innovative approach not only offers a renewable fuel option but also contributes to the reduction of atmospheric CO2 levels, a key factor in combating climate change.
E-methanol consists of using low-carbon hydrogen, produced by means of water electrolysis, and carbon recycled from industrial processes (biomass boilers, incinerators, etc.), subsequently synthesised in a methanolation reactor, and distilled to achieve the desired purity.
The global e-methanol market is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by decarbonization imperatives, advancements in green hydrogen production, and growing demand for sustainable fuels. Leading manufacturers such as OCI, BASF, and Enerkem dominate the competitive landscape, collectively accounting for approximately 61% of global market share. These key players are leveraging both strategic investments and technology innovation to scale production and meet rising demand across transport and industrial sectors.
In terms of feedstock segmentation, waste-sourced e-methanol remains the predominant type, representing 88% of the global market. The reliance on waste streams, including municipal solid waste, CO₂ capture, and biomass, not only reinforces the sector’s circular economy potential but also offers a cost-competitive advantage compared to hydrogen-based synthetic methanol. Emerging technologies and integrated carbon utilization strategies are expected to further strengthen this segment’s position in the coming years.
From an application perspective, biodiesel blending is the dominant use case, accounting for 59% of total consumption. As global biofuel mandates tighten and shipping and heavy transport sectors seek low-carbon alternatives, e-methanol’s role as a drop-in or blending agent is being increasingly recognized. Beyond fuel applications, demand from chemical intermediates and hydrogen carriers is also gaining momentum, particularly in Europe and Asia-Pacific.
Geographically, while North America and Europe currently lead in technological deployment and pilot-scale capacities, Asia-Pacific is poised for the fastest growth owing to large-scale investments, regulatory support, and rising demand from industrial clusters. With evolving carbon pricing mechanisms, advancements in electrolyzer efficiency, and cross-sector partnerships, the global e-methanol market is entering a phase of accelerated commercialization and supply chain maturity.
