$1.5 billion Clean Fuels Fund
Are ammonia and methanol production eligible for funding?
The program understands that ammonia and methanol can be produced to be used as clean fuels, as feedstocks, and as a transport medium for hydrogen, among other uses. Subject to meeting the mandatory criteria for clean fuels outlined in the Applicant’s Guide, ammonia and methanol applications are eligible for funding consideration. Methanol is required to meet the mandatory criteria for liquid clean fuels. Ammonia is required to meet the carbon-intensity limits of gaseous clean fuels and a minimum production capacity threshold of 500,000 GJ per year.

Funny chemistry if Methanol is considered a cleane fuel. Cleaner that Bunker C for sure, and diesel, and gasoline. As a hydrogen carrier it is not clean unless you employ CCS to the CO2 produced in the reforming process. Ammonia is however, if the burn temperature is not too high, potentially producing NOX,
