Wilmington, Delaware, United States, Transparency Market Research, Inc. , Sept. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — According to TMR, methanol (الميثانول) was worth US$22.0 billion in 2023. A CAGR of 3.4% is expected from 2024 to 2034, generating US$ 32.9 billion by 2034. Methanol is regarded as a cleaner-burning fuel than conventional fossil fuels.

In response to environmental restrictions aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, methanol is becoming more popular as an alternative fuel. With a low emissions profile, methanol is a great option for meeting environmental goals.

Since methanol is easier to store and move than free hydrogen, it can potentially operate as a hydrogen transporter, which makes it particularly helpful in synthetic organic chemistry. As a result, the established method creates a new direction for bulk and fine chemical synthesis and industrial applications.

A novel method of creating hydrogen from methanol via a catalytic reaction under ambient circumstances provides an environmentally friendly and sustainable way to produce vital clean fuel.

Through SERB, a DST-affiliated institution, scientists at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Tirupati, have developed a method for generating molecular hydrogen from basic feedstock chemicals like methanol. This method has been successfully applied to chemicals and pharmaceuticals with high value-added.
