Methanex is the largest producer and marketer of methanol in the world, giving it scale, procurement leverage, and a diversified production footprint across six countries. Its Waterfront Shipping subsidiary plus inland logistics and global terminals provide reliable delivery that smaller regional producers cannot match.

The Geismar 3 plant adds low-emission-intensity capacity, while operating reliability, long-standing customer relationships, a strong safety record, and a history of dividend payments reinforce its standing as the supplier of choice for major chemical and fuel buyers.

Global methanol demand stands near 100 million tonnes and grows about 2 to 3 percent per year, driven by chemical uses such as formaldehyde, acetic acid, and olefins alongside expanding fuel and marine-fuel applications. Methanex expects this diversified demand base to keep growing as methanol serves both traditional derivatives and emerging low-carbon pathways.

On the supply side, limited new capacity keeps the market relatively tight, supporting constructive pricing through the cycle. Methanex also sees long-term upside as customers pursue lower-carbon methanol for shipping fuel, fuel blending, and biodiesel production.

Methanex produces methanol by reforming natural gas, supplying a commodity chemical used to make formaldehyde, acetic acid, and olefins as well as fuel applications including blending, biodiesel production, and marine fuel. Its plants operate in six countries and feed a global network of storage terminals.

The company delivers methanol through a mix of owned and third-party shipping, trucking, and terminal capacity anchored by Waterfront Shipping. Customers range from large chemical manufacturers to energy and shipping companies adopting methanol as a cleaner-burning fuel.
