@hanno I'm not super surprised by some of the negative news. I wouldn't really expect a widespread need for green methanol until 2035-40 anyway. We have enough to do focusing on electrification + renewable build-out now. But the infrastructure (grids, pipelines, etc.) and some tech development needs a longer run-up, so it makes sense to think these things through at the same time.

Methanol is easy to transport, store, needed in abundance for chemicals/dense fuels anyway.
What is the current status of methanol projects?

It references a few ideas I sketched on a "minimal methanol economy"
