While EVs have made inroads into consumer transportation and trucking, flying and heavy shipping are utterly dependent on energy-dense fossil fuels to make long-distance journeys. Batteries are too heavy, and switching everything over to green hydrogen would require costly retrofits of airplanes and ships.
Motorsports fans will note that methanol has been used as a race fuel for decades, and many of today’s internal combustion engines can burn the stuff with only minor modifications. Some ocean-going ships have also made the switch, and while a barrel of methanol doesn’t hold as much energy as other maritime fuels like diesel, it’s close enough that the industry is giving it serious consideration.
