If you’re wondering where methanol fuel comes from, it has traditionally been produced and consumed as a chemical feedstock and is relatively new as a marine fuel. Production is expected to increase as demand from the shipping industry grows, and a growing proportion of that supply will be re...
Water, air and wind to produce hydrogen for electrolysis of water, are the only resources necessary to make the methanol required. Changing over to any alternative fuel will impact the Oil companies. However, a change to methanol could be a long term solution for them; whereas a trend ...
Butanol can be made from algae or diatoms using asolar-powered biorefinery. This fuel was found to have an energy density 10% less than gasoline, and greater than that of either methanol or ethanol. The green waste left over from the algae oil extraction can be used to produce butanol. Re...
It is a clean-burning fuel that is used for heating, cooking, and generating electricity. Methane is also used as a raw material in the production of chemicals such as methanol and ammonia. The properties of methane make it an important compound in both industry and everyday life. Its low...
There are a few derivatives of renewable hydrogen:Renewable ammonia is produced from both green hydrogen and nitrogen that’s extracted from the air. Ammonia can be used as a precursor for fertilizers, as clean fuel, or as a hydrogen carrier molecule. Renewable e- or green methanol is ...
Humanity produces around 70 million tonnes of hydrogen each year, mainly for use in making ammonia fertiliser and chemicals such as methanol, and to remove impurities during oil refining. Proponents of using hydrogen as a clean fuel think it could soon also play a vital role in decarbonising ...

Theoretically any hydrocarbon fuel could be manufactured this way. Currently, components such as oxymethylene ether and octanol, both diesel replacements, and methanol, a gasoline replacement, are a major focus due to their relative economy in being produced. However, this is a fast developing area...
Special fuel handling systems are necessary when engines run on greener fuels. Wärtsilä can deliver complete systems for storage, bunkering, control, and monitoring. Commercially available for LNG- and methanol-fuelled ships. Wärtsilä LNGPac™ A complete fuel gas supply system for ships fu...
Just as using manure as a fuel for domestic use is not a new idea, the fact that liquid can pass through clay objects is something that potters have always known, and clay’s porous nature is something that, as a former ceramics lecturer in the ANU School of Art, Flynn is well aware...
