A more comprehensive version of this article can be found in a peer-reviewed open access publication here: A Review of The Methanol Economy: The Fuel Cell Route

• Methanol can be produced through renewable means and used as a substitute for petroleum both in the energy sector and the chemical industry
• The renewable production of methanol involves hydrogen production via water electrolysis using renewable electricity and some renewable source of CO2 via carbon capture or CO2 from biomass
• The use of methanol in high temperature PEM fuel cells for various energy applications is an interesting and efficient solution
• The cost of…
