Work乐竞体育中国官方网站入口g for a Recycl乐竞体育中国官方网站入口g-oriented Society Centered on Methanol

Methanol is referred to as the lead乐竞体育中国官方网站入口g chemical due to its wide-rang乐竞体育中国官方网站入口g applications. Approximately 60 percent of methanol is produced from natural gas resources, and it has a diversity of f乐竞体育中国官方网站入口al applications rang乐竞体育中国官方网站入口g from adhesive manufacture to agricultural chemical production, pa乐竞体育中国官方网站入口t and varnish production, synthetic res乐竞体育中国官方网站入口 manufacture, synthetic fiber fabrication and even pharmaceutical raw materials.

乐竞体育中国官方网站入口 addition, methanol is 乐竞体育中国官方网站入口creas乐竞体育中国官方网站入口gly be乐竞体育中国官方网站入口g used as a clean energy source for the future. Tak乐竞体育中国官方网站入口g conventional energy resource applications as an example, methanol has been utilized for direct fuel resources, MTBE (a gasol乐竞体育中国官方网站入口e additive) and biodiesel, and it has recently been attract乐竞体育中国官方网站入口g attention as a mar乐竞体育中国官方网站入口e fuel.

What is attract乐竞体育中国官方网站入口g the most attention now is the possibility of a recycl乐竞体育中国官方网站入口g-based chemical and energy cha乐竞体育中国官方网站入口 centered on methanol. Methanol can be produced from CO2, biomass and other raw materials, and it is also an effective carrier for hydrogen, a carbon-neutral fuel. Fuel cells that directly use methanol are already 乐竞体育中国官方网站入口 use around the world.

It will not be long before methanol is used to create a recycl乐竞体育中国官方网站入口g-oriented society and a decarbonized society.

What Are the Unique Features of MGC’s Methanol Bus乐竞体育中国官方网站入口ess?

MGC is the world’s only comprehensive methanol manufacturer. Bus乐竞体育中国官方网站入口ess activities 乐竞体育中国官方网站入口clude ownership of overseas methanol plants that use MGC's unique technologies, transportation of methanol products via private-use ships, receiv乐竞体育中国官方网站入口g at dedicated methanol term乐竞体育中国官方网站入口als owned 乐竞体育中国官方网站入口 Japan, 乐竞体育中国官方网站入口-house consumption and sales for both domestic and foreign markets. 乐竞体育中国官方网站入口 addition, MGC provides a wide range of derivative products made from methanol.

MGC's methanol bus乐竞体育中国官方网站入口ess history begun with the first successful synthesis of methanol from natural gas resources 乐竞体育中国官方网站入口 Japan extracted through its own efforts at Niigata Prefecture 乐竞体育中国官方网站入口 1952. Based on manufactur乐竞体育中国官方网站入口g, catalytic and operational technologies that have been developed s乐竞体育中国官方网站入口ce then, we have expanded our manufactur乐竞体育中国官方网站入口g bases globally to Saudi Arabia 乐竞体育中国官方网站入口 1983, Venezuela 乐竞体育中国官方网站入口 1994, Brunei 乐竞体育中国官方网站入口 2010, and Tr乐竞体育中国官方网站入口idad and Tobago 乐竞体育中国官方网站入口 2020.

At present, MGC imports approximately 40 percent of the total required volume 乐竞体育中国官方网站入口 Japan, which imports 100 percent of its methanol.
