As the global energy system moves toward decarbonisation, the range of viable pathways is expanding—but not all options are equally scalable, economic, or durable. While established fuels such as LNG continue to underpin energy security, methanol is increasingly cited as a potential low‑carbon alternative across shipping, chemicals, and power.

The critical question is not whether methanol has potential—but where, when, and under what conditions it can play a meaningful role.

In this webinar, Poten & Partners will provide a clear‑eyed assessment of methanol’s role in the energy transition, separating technical promise from commercial reality. We will examine how low‑emission methanol is developing, what is constraining growth, and how supply, demand, and investment are likely to evolve.

We will discuss:

• The circumstances under which methanol can contribute to global decarbonisation objectives
• Progress—and persistent challenges—in low‑ and ultra‑low‑emission methanol production
• Near‑ and long‑term demand drivers shaping the low‑emission methanol landscape
• How global supply, demand, and investment dynamics are evolving
