Methanol as Fuel

Sustainable energy with tradition


Bio - Fossil - Synthetic

 

Methanol, also known as methyl alcohol, is a versatile fuel that has long been used across various applications. It is remarkable not only for its long history of use but for its ability to provide sustainable energy.

Bio Methanol

This methanol is produced from biomass such as wood, algae, or agricultural waste. The use of bio-methanol reduces greenhouse gas emissions and contributes to sustainability.

Fossil Methanol

Fossil methanol is obtained from fossil raw materials such as natural gas or coal. Although it is not renewable, it can be made more environmentally friendly through carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies.

Synthetic Methanol

Synthetic methanol is produced from water and CO2 using renewable energy sources such as wind or solar power. It is a promising option for the future as it has the potential to be carbon neutral.

Future Fuel

Although methanol is currently gaining more attraction as a fuel, it is by no means a new discovery. Methanol has already been used as a fuel in vehicles in the 1920s. It has a long and successful history across various applications, ranging from the production of formaldehyde to use in race cars and mobile heaters.

At Heatanol AG, we believe in the power of methanol as the fuel of the future. We have developed methanol-powered mobile heaters to harness this sustainable energy source in modern applications. Discover the advantages of methanol and its already impressive history as a fuel.

Advantages of Methanol as Fuel

Versatility

Methanol can be used across various applications, ranging from mobile heaters to fuel cells and industrial processes.

Eco-friendliness

Methanol is a renewable and low-emission fuel that produces fewer pollutants and helps reduce environmental impact.

High Energy Density

Methanol provides a remarkably high energy density, meaning that it contains a lot of energy per volume or weight. This makes it both efficient and powerful.

Sustainable Production

Methanol can be manufactured from various sources, including bio-methanol, fossil methanol, and synthetic methanol. These diverse methods of production help reduce dependence on fossil fuels while promoting the use of renewable resources.
