Our facility in Geismar, Louisiana, is a key contributor to Methanex’s global supply chain with an annual production capacity of 2.2 million tonnes of methanol from our Geismar 1 and Geismar 2 plants, which have been operational since 2015.
Construction is currently underway for our third plant in Geismar, G3, which is scheduled to begin commercial operations by the end of 2023. Once it is up and running, G3 will be capable of producing 1.8 million tonnes of methanol annually and have one of the lowest CO₂ emissions intensity profiles in the methanol industry.
We have received International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC) for biomethanol production at our Geismar 2 site. This certification enables sales to European fuel customers under the Renewable Energy Directive II (RED II), which sets targets for energy from renewable sources, as well as chemical customers globally to produce low-carbon products like Bio-POM.
We are progressing with our feasibility study for carbon capture and storage (CCS) at our Geismar site, which has available carbon transportation and storage infrastructure.
