In order to gather both qualitative and quantitative insights, supply-side and demand-side stakeholders were interviewed during the primary research process. CEOs, VPs of Technology Development, chief process engineers, heads of regulatory affairs, and commercial directors from firms that produce methanol, MTG technology licensors, catalyst producers, and engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractors were examples of supply-side sources. Directors of fuel procurement from automakers and aerospace manufacturers, managers of refinery operations, directors of chemical manufacturing plants, executives of power generation utilities, and sustainability officers from energy-intensive businesses were examples of demand-side sources. Primary research verified technology commercialization schedules, validated market segmentation across conversion technologies, end product kinds, and production scales, and acquired information on feedstock sourcing tactics, the effects of carbon price, and the dynamics of regulatory compliance.
