Market Prediction and Industry Risks of Methanol Fuel Bunkering for Ocean-going Ships
Based on the"dual carbon"background,by collecting the order information,technical information and route information of methanol-powered ships all over the world,the principles and methods of statistics are used to predict the bunkering scale of the methanol-powered ships serving key domestic waters in 2030,such as container ships,bulk cargo ships and oil tankers.The potential risks of methanol fuel bunkering industry are analyzed and countermeasures are given.The results show that the price of methanol is the critical factor,but the future of methanol-powered ships is still promising.The research results can be used as a reference for the design and development of methanol bunkering ships.
