MCQ
Methanol is called as Marine Methanol beacuse:
  • A
    It is an essential compound for marine life.
  • B
    It is mostly obtained from deep sea bed.
  • ✓
    It is used as a marine fuel.
  • D
    It serves as a signal indicator for big ships on burning.
✓

Answer

Correct option: C.
It is used as a marine fuel.
Currently, methanol is being developed and utilized as a marine fuel. Interest in methanol as a ship fuel is growing in response to international regulatory changes and cost advantages relative to other fuels. Methanol is an alternative which is sulphur free, has low emissions; perhaps three to four times cheaper than marine distillate fuel; and has a higher score on the International Martine Organization $(\text{IMO})$ energy efficiency design index $(\text{EEDI})$ than $\text{LNG}$ or diesel. Globally, Methanol is already in widespread production $(\sim 70$ million tons per annum$)$ for a multitude of chemical and energy applications, and is one of the world’s most widely shipped chemicals.
