THE ROLE AND PLACE OF METHANOL IN ENERGY TRANSITION
In: Vostočnaja analitika, Band 13, Heft 4 (2022), S. 113-125
Abstract
To decarbonize the economy it is not enough to adopt renewable energy sources alone. The opportunities of "clean" electric power are not unlimited. Fossil fuel continues to dominate in industrial technological processes, transport and in housing sector. A need arises in alternative synthetic fuel with the minimum carbon footprint. Such fuel is possible to produce from various raw materials through chemical reactions with the use of "clean" electric power from renewable sources. In the foreseeable future "green" methanol seems to be the synthetic fuel which is the easiest to obtain without changing the existing infrastructure.
