Methanex Corporation
Methanex Corporation is one of the leading manufacturers of methanol. The company has a geographic presence in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and the Middle East. Methanol manufactured by company is used in building materials, foams, resins, and plastics. In April 2023, Methanex Corporation and Suez Methanol Derivatives (SMD) signed an agreement for a new methanol pipeline construction.
Recent Developments
- In April 2023, Methanex Corporation signed an agreement with Suez Methanol Derivatives (SMD) for a new methanol pipeline construction. With this agreement, Methanex Corporation will supply methanol from its Egypt plant to a nearby SMD company’s project in Damietta.
- In March 2023, Zagros Petrochemical Company (ZPC) and Dalian Petrochemical Company signed an agreement to construct a methanol-to-synthetic ethanol conversion plant.
- In March 2021, Celanese Corporation announced that it will expand its capacity and its Clear Lake, Texas integrated chemical manufacturing facility will begin utilizing recycled carbon dioxide (CO2) as an alternative feedstock in the production of methanol.
Based on Feedstock
- Coal
- Natural Gas
- Others
By feedstock, the coal segment accounted for the fastest-growing of the methanol market during 2023 to 2028
The coal segment, by feedstock, market accounts for the fastest growth. Many countries are shifting towards coal feedstock due to high prices and limited reserves of natural gas in certain areas. For the manufacturing methanol from coal, it is mixed with air separator O2 and then put through coal gasification to create crude syngas. Methanol manufacturing using coal as a feedstock is a carbon-intensive process that can produce a lot of greenhouse gas emissions. Utilizing cleaner and more environmentally friendly feedstocks for the manufacturing of methanol has received increased attention in recent years in an effort to reduce environmental impact.
