The study involved four major activities in estimating the current size of the green methanol market—exhaustive secondary research collected information on the market, peer markets, and parent markets. The subsequent step involved confirming these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts throughout the green methanol value chain through primary research. To estimate the overall market size, both top-down and bottom-up approaches were utilized. Following this, market segmentation and data triangulation were applied to determine the market size of various segments and subsegments.
Secondary Research
For this research, secondary sources include annual reports, press releases, and presentations from companies, as well as white papers, certified publications, articles by reputable authors, and information from trusted websites. These sources were used to gather crucial details about the industry's supply chain, key players, market categories, segmentation based on industry trends down to regional markets, and significant developments from a market-focused viewpoint.
Primary Research
The Green Methanol Market comprises several stakeholders, such as raw material suppliers, technology support providers, green methanol manufacturers, and regulatory organizations in the supply chain. Various primary sources from the supply and demand sides of the market were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information. We interviewed key people from both sides of the market—supply and demand—to gather detailed information. Supply-side primary sources included industry experts like CEOs, vice presidents, marketing and technology directors, and other key executives from companies in the green methanol market. On the demand side, we spoke with directors, marketing leaders, and procurement managers from various industries sourcing green methanol. Here’s a breakdown of the primary respondents:

Market Definition
According to the Methanol Institute, Methanol (CH3OH) is a liquid chemical used in thousands of everyday products, including plastics, paints, cosmetics, and fuels Liquid methanol is produced from synthesis gas, which consists of a blend of hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide. These simple ingredients can be sourced from various feedstocks using different technological approaches.
Green or renewable methanol is an ultra-low-carbon chemical produced through sustainable processes. Green methanol can be categorized into two main types: bio-methanol and e-methanol, which are determined by the green feedstocks employed. Bio-methanol involves replacing traditional coal or natural gas feedstocks with biomass or biogas sources. At the same time, e-methanol is produced by combining green hydrogen with carbon dioxide from direct air carbon capture or biogenic sources.
