Key themes on the agenda in 2024:

The application of CCUS for reducing carbon emissions in methanol plants

Hear more on what feedstock products exist for lowering the carbon intensity of methanol, and if adding CCUS to existing methanol plants reduce the carbon intensity enough to the point where it is competing with green methanol from a cost and emission standpoint. Also, discover what other technological innovations, including upstream and downstream technologies are available.

Low carbon methanol use in the chemical and plastics industry

With European mandates and other global regulations such as RED III, how will the landscape of low-carbon methanol for chemical applications develop and will there be an increase in regulatory requirements for the chemical industry to decarbonise in North America? How will this impact methanol derivative production and how will chemical and plastic companies increase low-carbon inputs going into their supply chain? Discover which low-carbon methanol products are most likely to succeed.

Building a low carbon methanol pipeline and mobilising methanol in new ways

Hear from key players across the supply chain on how they are working together on building out the infrastructure for low carbon methanol in order to distribute it efficiently across the globe. What regions are seeing the most development for low carbon methanol projects and how can the industry ensure it is available to customers where and when they need it?

Financiers’ attitude towards financing the methanol world

Despite investors’ desires to back the energy transition, they still remain risk adverse. How do we get investors comfortable with scale up and perceived risks of renewable feedstocks to fuel conversion projects at large scale? How could a low carbon methanol price premium be structured to encourage investment and innovation in the sector?
