Please help me, I need to know some information in this regard. . . Thank you all in advance
The cost is high, the price is low, and many units are still parked.
There are a few companies that have the strength to afford it, or that do not use coal or raw materials. Most of them have stopped production. The recent increase in coal prices has made life even more difficult.
Just look at China Metal Network. http://www.metalnews.cn/chemical/list-1519-1.html There are prices of each factory and the status of opening and closing.
Many natural gas methanol plants have been shut down
If the market is not good, we may have to stop. Now, it is better to buy methanol from abroad. The price is cheaper than domestically produced methanol.
At present, many domestic methanol companies have stopped or limited production, mainly because the current market price is not enough to make profitable sales, which is mainly due to cost reasons. In places like Sichuan, Inner Mongolia, and Shanxi, all of them have basically stopped, but the ones whose raw material is coke oven gas are still running.
