After completing a re-assessment of energy use for a broad range of countries for the period 2013-14, EIA updated its historical data, with the largest changes occurring in China and other non-OECD countries. Smaller amounts of China’s methanol supply are imported from the Middle East, Southeast Asia, South America, and the United States.

Geely Auto was the first auto manufacturer in China to conduct research and development into methanol vehicle solutions in 2005, and has since acquired dozens of patents. Methanol can be produced from a range of renewable sources and fossil-fuel based feed-stocks; in practice methanol is mainly produced in coal-rich China from coal.

If no effort is made to reduce CO 2 emissions, the annual release from the United States could increase by one third from 2005 to 2030, according to the DOE. Carbon capture and storage is intended to help reduce this growth by capturing CO 2 before it is emitted into the atmosphere.
