Since International Maritime Organization(IMO) and European Parliament issued their decarbonization targets for ocean transportation, the bio-methanol('green methanol') has suddenly attracted enormous attention, and its supply falls short of demand. Such an event proves the anxieties about the existence of so-called 'hard-to-electrify' and 'harder-to-abate industries', by the international climate change circle. Methanol has been regarded as an ideal energy carrier. This case reminds that it is not realistic to realize carbon neutrality by only depending upon wind energy or photovoltaic energy. In order to find the solution, it is crucial to play the specific role of biomass. The tendency of neglecting bioenergy and bio-based materials has to be corrected.
