Methanex in Egypt

Egyptian Methanex Methanol Company S.A.E. (EMethanex) is the Egyptian joint venture operation of Methanex Corporation, the global leader in methanol industry supply, distribution and marketing. Methanex holds a 60% interest in the EMethanex joint venture, together with Egyptian government partners: Egyptian Petrochemical Holding Company (ECHEM), which holds 12%; Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS), which holds 12%; Egyptian National Gas Company (GASCO), which holds 9%; and the Arab Petroleum Investments Corporation (APICORP), which holds 7%.

The new 1.3 million tonne a year EMethanex methanol facility produced first methanol and began deliveries to customers in early 2011. Located in Damietta on the Mediterranean Sea, it is expected to be among the most energy-efficient methanol production facilities in the world. This first-class production site integrates seamlessly into Methanex’s global methanol supply chain and has the potential for future expansion and enhanced capacity to meet increased global methanol demand.
