The plant has an annual production capacity of 110,000 tons of low-carbon intensity methanol, recycling approximately 160,000 tons of CO 2 per year. [ 16 ] The methanol has been used to replace diesel fuel in heavy-duty trucks, produced by Geely Auto , and to light the flame of the Asian Games in Hangzhou in 2023.
Brunei Methanol Company (BMC) is a national petrochemical facility situated at the Sungai Liang Industrial Park (SPARK) in Sungai Liang, Brunei [2] jointly owned by Japan's Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company (50%), ITOCHU Corporation (25%) and Mirkhas (25%), a company incorporated under the purview of the Strategic Development Capital Fund, a trust sub-fund of the Government of Brunei.
If as little as 10 ml of pure methanol is ingested, for example, it can break down into formic acid, which can cause permanent blindness by destruction of the optic nerve, and 30 ml is potentially fatal, [2] although the median lethal dose is typically 100 ml (3.4 fl oz) (i.e. 1–2 ml/kg body weight) of pure methanol.

The 2018 Malaysia methanol poisonings occurred in September 2018 in three states and two federal territories in Malaysia comprising Selangor (64 cases), Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya (18 cases), Perak (13 cases) and Negeri Sembilan (3 cases). [1] Until October, 45 people from the total of 98 cases have been reported dead by the Malaysian Health ...
For synthesis of methanol of green hydrogen the CO 2 shall be originated from production processes of the chemical site and perhaps of other industrial processes (e.g. CO 2 from cement plants). 15 000 t/a of renewable methanol shall be produced which shall be used for company internal production processes (e.g. synthesis of silicones) as well ...
Methanex is the world’s largest producer and supplier of methanol to major international markets in North and South America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. [2] Methanex is headquartered in Vancouver , British Columbia , Canada, and operates production sites in Canada, Chile, Egypt, New Zealand (at Motunui and Waitara Valley ), the United States ...
Methanol fuel is an alternative biofuel for internal combustion and other engines, either in combination with gasoline or independently. Methanol (CH 3 OH) is less expensive to sustainably produce than ethanol fuel, although it is more toxic than ethanol and has a lower energy density than gasoline.
Direct methanol fuel cell. Direct methanol fuel cells or DMFCs are a subcategory of proton-exchange membrane fuel cells in which methanol is used as the fuel and a special proton-conducting polymer as the membrane (PEM). Their main advantage is low temperature operation and the ease of transport of methanol, an energy-dense yet reasonably ...
