Geismar 3

G3: An industry-leading methanol plant with lower emissions intensity

The Geismar 3 (G3) plant at our Geismar, Louisiana site produced first methanol in late July 2024. We asked some of the project team to share their thoughts about the project, including our approach to safety, to challenges, and to building the team that delivered the project. Watch the video below:


G3 is adjacent to our existing G1 and G2 plants, with shared infrastructure that creates material capital and operating cost advantages. G3 will be one of our lowest-cost plants with one of the lowest CO₂ emissions intensity profiles in the industry by utilizing excess hydrogen from the G1 and G2 steam reforming plants coupled with access to abundant and low-cost natural gas.

The G3 facility will be capable of producing 1.8 million tonnes of methanol per year. Combined with the G1 and G2 plants, our three Geismar plants will represent one of the largest methanol complexes in the world.

G3 strengthens our asset portfolio given its location, access to abundant natural gas and lower cost structure – and will further solidify our position as the world’s largest methanol supplier.
