Analysing the import potentials for green methanol for South Korea

For renewable hydrogen to play its part in decarbonization, it needs to be scaled up substantially over the next decade and beyond. For countries such as South Korea or Germany - with high energy demand but without exceptional renewable energy potentials - self sufficiency appears unlikely, and importing hydrogen either in molecular form or as a derivative appears to be a given. This poses the obvious question of who the future suppliers might be. 

Building on a previous Project where hydrogen and ammonia import cost have been modelled, the model was expanded to include methanol. adelphi's team assists the National Institute of Green Technology (NIGT) with identifying countries with the potential to supply green methanol to Korea.
