We are happy to announce that our new “Methanol Production Calculator” is now online and ready to be explored.

Transitioning to sustainable fuels is happening, and it is a regulatory and financial necessity. But how much does it actually cost? And how will it impact your compliance with the new European laws?

To answer these questions, the M²ARE team has developed the Maritime Methanol Calculator—an intuitive tool designed specifically for maritime operators, shipowners, energy planners and researchers.

What does this tool actually do?

By simply entering your operational data—such as methanol production capacity and CO₂ content—the calculator provides immediate, critical insights. As you fill in the fields, it automatically generates real-time outputs for CO₂, H₂, and thermal demands (heating and cooling), alongside their associated costs. Once the analysis is complete, you can easily download a comprehensive PDF report with a pie chart to keep a permanent record of your results.

Why use it?

It is more than just a spreadsheet. It is a simulator that translates complex European directives—which are often difficult to interpret—into clear numbers and easy-to-read charts. This process is complex and diverse in inputs, and this calculator will help you to have a clear overall idea of the methanol production value chain associated costs.
