vehicles proved the viability of methanol cars for use by ordinary consumers as well as government departments and rental fleets. Now, gasoline and diesel prices have risen, so methanol is once again an affordable alternative road vehicle fuel. Shipping fuel There’s a huge global demand for marine fuels, with recent estimates of consumption at around 298 million metric tons per year.25 Fleet numbers and volumes of goods shipped are increasing year on year. The international world trade fleet of ships increased 1.5% from 2013-15: transport supply of chemical tankers and general cargo ships grew by 15%, cruise ships by 11% and container ships by 9%.26 Figure 8. Properties of methanol vs other shipping fuels* Renewable Methanol Report 1.5% Increase of international world trade fleet of ships from 2013-15.

Supply infrastructure is often in place for methanol, as it is already available and shipped through many ports around the world. Although methanol is less energy dense than traditional fuels, requiring more storage space on board, it’s a liquid fuel, so it can be stored in ballast and “slop” tanks. This is in contrast to liquefied natural gas (LNG) which demands a large cryogenic tank, absorbing substantial on-board space. The Stena Germanica is one of the world’s largest ferries: a 24 MW roll-on, roll-off passenger (ROPAX) vessel that can take 300 cars and 1,300 passengers. It was converted to run on methanol in 2015, as 25 OLMER, COMER, ROY, MAO and RUTHERFORD: https://www.theicct.org/sites/default/files/publications/Global-shipping-GHG- emissions-2013-2015_ICCT-Report_17102017_vF.pdf 26 Idem www.methanol.org 21PDF Image | Renewable Methanol Report
