Abstract: In the medium- to long-term perspective, new final energy carriers for mobile and stationary applications will be produced on a fossil and increasingly on a renewable basis. Methanol, large amounts of which are currently produced for the chemicals market, will be able to play a significant part in this field. Methanol can be used in both internal combustion engines and also in fuel cells: in mobile aggregates for vehicle drives, in stationary plants for power and heat generation, in portable fuel cell assemblies for electric power generators. Furthermore, industrial downstream products of methanol are also conceivable. Today, methanol is mainly produced from natural gas, but it can also be obtained from fossil energy sources and biomass. The present book - with contributions from research and industry - presents a comprehensive picture of the production methods and applications of methanol and its downstream products, and also an overview of market and cost developments worldwide, as well as issues of safety and environmental impacts. In the applications, major attention is focused on road traffic.
