Consistent Demand for Cheaper Fuel will Strengthen China's Position as the Largest Market for Methanol-Gasoline Blend

China has become the leader in methanol-gasoline blending as the demand for methanol from this sector has soared in the last decade. As the largest producer of methanol, the country has an abundant supply for gasoline blending. The trend of using methanol in gasoline blending started after the provincial governments in China standardized methanol-gasoline blends, which were cheaper than gasoline. As of 2012, 11 provincial governments have set up standards for methanol-based fuel. The central government has also established standards for methanol-gasoline blends containing 85% methanol and is now in the final stages of standardizing blends containing 15% methanol. The easy availability of methanol, lower costs and strong regulatory support will strengthen China's already dominant position in the methanol-gasoline fuel market and will raise its share from 87.3% in 2011 to 92.8% in 2016.
