What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A study published by the Maritime Ethanol & Methanol Alliance found that the United States has spare ethanol production capacity that could supply a meaningful share of the global marine fuel market. The report notes that ethanol could be used in existing methanol dual-fuel engines and bunkering infrastructure with relatively minor modifications.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The United States currently has approximately 2 billion gallons of unused ethanol capacity. This capacity could meet the demand from over 300 methanol-capable vessels already operating or on order, offering a potential alternative to low-emission methanol.
