MI – the Global Methanol Alliance recently shared with Manifold Times the renewable and low-carbon methanol project pipeline September 2026 release produced by GENA Solutions Oy.
Information from the release is meant to provide the bunkering publication’s readers with insight on renewable methanol availability, and to assist the maritime industry in the adoption of methanol as a mainstream marine fuel heading into IMO 2030/2050.
Key takeaways from GENA’s September 2026 Methanol release are as follows:
- Three industrial-scale renewable methanol projects are undergoing commissioning and test production in China. The start of commercial production at these facilities will increase operational capacity by 0.5 Mt over the next few months.
- During September, GENA registered forty milestones reached by renewable and low-carbon methanol projects, confirming continued progress in industry development.
- Five new projects were added to Project Navigator last month, while four frozen projects were excluded. The project pipeline increased by 0.6 Mt month on month.
- By the end of September 2026, GENA tracks 287 renewable and low-carbon methanol projects, representing 62.8 Mt of capacity by 2032. This includes 25.1 Mt of e-methanol, 26.6 Mt of biomethanol, and 11.1 Mt of low-carbon methanol capacity.
