Global Methanol Market to Grow at 5% During 2015-2020 China is expected to represent the biggest driver of the global methanol market catalyzed by the increasing demand of acetic acid, DME (Dimethyl Ether), gasoline blending and the emerging Methanol-to-Olefins (MTO) technology. Methanol is a volatile, flammable and colorless liquid which is highly toxic in nature. Often abbreviated as MeOH, methanol represents the simplest alcohol with the chemical formula CH3OH. Earlier (till 1920’s), the dry distillation of wood was the only method for methanol production. Today, methanol is predominantly produced by the reforming of natural gas with steam and then converting and distilling the resulting synthesized gas mixture to create pure methanol. Methanol is a versatile chemical that finds applications in two main industries- chemicals and energy. Its three major downstream products related to the chemical industry are: acetic acid, formaldehyde and DMT (Dimethyl Terephthalate) which together consume around half of its total global production. The first two derivatives (acetic acid and formaldehyde) have well diversified applications in adhesives for plywood, particle board and laminates; in resins to treat plastic and paper; in paints and varnish removers; in solvents for the textile industry; in polyester fibers for clothing and carpeting, etc. In the shipping industry, methanol serves as an environmentally friendly and affordable alternative to heavy fuel oil by reducing CO2 emissions. Among the energy related applications of methanol, gasoline blending, biodiesel and production of DME (Dimethyl Ether) & MTBE (Methyl-Tertiary-Butyl-Ether) are the segments with a great potential in the coming years.
