Producing low-carbon methanol and sustainable fuels using proven, financeable technology—ready to deploy now.
Producing low-carbon methanol and sustainable fuels using proven, financeable technology—ready to deploy now.
The global transition to decarbonized fuels is creating unprecedented demand across maritime, chemical, and sustainable aviation sectors. The supply gap is real, and the window of opportunity is now.
CAGR 2029-2049
The global blue methanol market is projected to grow from 1.0-1.5 Mtpa in 2029 to 20-30 Mtpa by 2049, driven by decarbonization mandates and early adoption in key sectors.
U.S. by 2049
Maritime sector leading the charge with Gulf Coast bunkering hubs creating immediate demand. Strong policy support through 45Q tax credits and LCFS value stacking.
Critical Decade
Blue methanol fills the crucial supply gap before green methanol scales post-2035. Early market engagement from potential offtakers validates the near-term opportunity.

This comprehensive report prepared by the Global Maritime Forum for the Getting to Zero Coalition introduces a new framework for assessing the maturity of scalable zero-emission fuels from 1) Proof of concept, reached once a fuel has been shown to be safe and effective in real-world demonstrations; 2) Initial scale, reflecting small-scale commercial adoption of the fuel on specific routes and ports; and 3) Maturity, marking the fuel’s development into a widely available solution, with limited barriers to uptake.

This paper from DNV, the world’s leading classification society and a recognized advisor for the maritime industry, examines the status of methanol as a marine fuel, addressing ships capable of using methanol as fuel, methanol fuel production, and the infrastructure that can supply them. It also discusses the potential way ahead for low-GHG methanol in the coming years and decades, highlighting the challenge of balancing supply and demand in light of the potential use of methanol as a GHG compliance strategy.
