Global methanol representation
• The Methanol Institute (MI) was first formed in 1989 to represent US
methanol producers in Washington.
• 27 years later, MI is truly a global trade association supporting the
expansion of the methanol industry in every corner of the world from
offices in:

Alternative Fuel Drivers
Scale: The feedstock base needs to be large enough to support global transportation market.
Sustainability: There needs to be a viable pathway to low- or no-carbon transport, while reducing smog.
Subsidy: Can’t rely on government support forever, so someone needs to make money.
Consumer: Demands seamless transition and ease of use.
Methanol: Checks all the drivers!

Methanol is simplest of alcohols
• Simple molecule rich in
hydrogen, with only no carbon-
to-carbon bonds
• Clear and colorless liquid at
room temperature and ambient
pressure
• Also known as “wood alcohol,”
methanol can be produced
from a wide range of
feedstocks
Formula: CH3OH
Density: 0,792 g.cm-3
Molar mass: 32,04 g mol-1
Appearance: colourless liquid
