The IMO granted Methanol Institute consultative status for methanol as a shipping fuel.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has granted the Methanol Institute (MI) consultative status, enabling it to participate in IMO meetings as an observer and contribute expert input on discussions related to shipping fuel alternatives. MI aims to use this status to collaborate with member countries, developing safety standards for methanol use, regulatory frameworks for low-carbon shipping fuels, and market-based measures to support the introduction of low-carbon and renewable methanol. This recognition highlights the increasing acceptance of methanol as a viable green marine fuel.
