With the rapid development of green and sustainable economy,methanol,as a crucial chemical raw material,has irreplaceable uses.The clustering and large-scale industrial production have a direct driving effect on the rapid development of the methanol industry,while also promoting the development of other related industries and the entire economy and society.With the accelerating process of economic globalization and the continuous optimization and adjustment of the industrial structure of the chemical industry in the 21st century,the field of fine chemicals has gradually taken a dominant position.In recent years,due to the increasing social demand,the production capacity of China's methanol industry has gradually expanded,and the types of downstream end products have continued to increase,which has also led to the increasing consumption of Non-renewable resource.In order to reduce the excessive reliance on trade imports and other uncertainties in China's petroleum and other petrochemical energy sources,as well as the pollution caused by greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles and the formation of harmful gases such as acid rain,this article reviews the current research status of methanol production capacity and methanol synthesis process at home and abroad in recent years.
