What are the impacts of the pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine conflict on plant economics? And how will this affect the future of methanol plants? - A sustainable future: low carbon methanol productionDevelopments in producing methanol in a more sustainable way have been gaining momentum in recent years. From bio-methanol to renewable methanol, numerous companies are exploring, or already producing methanol that has a lower environmental impact than traditional methods. Hear from experts across the value chain on how this will develop, including the costs, technical processes, and demand in the coming years. As well as how will this effect traditional methanol production? - How can methanol compete with other sustainable fuels as the marine fuel of the future?The shipping industry has been mandated to reduce its environmental impact.
