Carbon Footprint of Methanol
The Methanol Institute engaged Amsterdam-based independent consultancy firm studio Gear Up to provide a Lifecycle Carbon Assessment of various methanol production feedstocks and processes based on data supplied by a dozen companies using the European Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) methodology. MI’s Carbon Footprint of Methanol white paper is the first comprehensive study to provide primary source data on the greenhouse gas emissions from the production of methanol from natural gas, coal, and a wide range of renewable feedstocks.
