Abstract: In view of the high price of LNG and high production and transportation costs, in order to save labor costs and improve economic benefits, Marine methanol fuel is considered to replace LNG fuel. The advantages and limitations of the two fuels are described by comparing their carbon dioxide emissions, costs, management and storage, infrastructure construction, and future development difficulty.

Key words: LNG, Marine methanol, Economic benefits, Advantages and limitations
