What was the cost of producing one ton of methanol in 2009? Is it still profitable to produce methanol in 2009?
Around 2000; now it has basically recovered its cost
Our factory produces methanol from natural gas; the cost of producing 1 ton of methanol is around 1,500. Currently, the price of methanol is around 2,000, so we can still make a small profit
The cost of producing one ton of methanol depends on whether it is produced as dimethyl ether or as pure methanol. Even the cost of producing dimethyl ether is currently around 2,000 yuan per ton, while the cost for pure methanol is even higher. At present, the market price of crude methanol is only 1,700 yuan per ton. The poor market conditions, along with the severe downturn in the ammonia synthesis industry, have had a significant impact on the methanol market. Strictly speaking, both dimethyl ether and pure methanol are currently being produced at a slight loss.
Low methanol prices are beneficial for us, as we use a large amount of it! ! !
The cost of producing methanol from coke oven gas is around 1,000 RMB; the current market price is 2,100 RMB, resulting in a profit of 1,100 RMB. Therefore, producing methanol from coke oven gas is the process with the lowest costs and the highest potential for profit! !
From this perspective, the gross margin for methanol is still quite high
The cost of coal-based methanol is around 1,900, while its selling price is 1,700, which is not enough to cover the costs.
The production cost is mostly around 2,000 yuan
The cost of methanol mainly depends on the price of raw materials; if the price of coal is around 100, then the cost of methanol is around 700.
Your plant’s cost for producing methanol from coke oven gas is 900; currently, it’s still possible to recoup the costs associated with coking.
We produce methanol using coal as a raw material, and the cost is relatively high. Currently, the price of methanol is around 2000 yuan; as a result, it is still not possible to operate the plants, so production has to be halted.
The price of methanol produced from coke oven gas at our factory is currently 1,750–1,780 yuan. It barely makes any money. :victory:
Our 1 million-ton methanol project has been rejected by the board of directors due to the downturn in recent times :'(
Applications below 1 million tons are not approved, yet so many applications of that nature were still approved; it would be abnormal if such a situation did not occur. What a waste of **money**. Carnivores don’t do anything at all
Coke oven gas is priced at 0.56 yuan, while the cost of methanol is around 1,900 yuan; given the current market conditions, a slight profit can still be made.
Our factory produces methanol from natural gas; the cost of 1 ton of methanol is around 1,300. However, when transporting it from Xinjiang to the interior areas, the shipping cost adds another 1,800, so 1,800 is considered the minimum amount needed to break even
It depends on the production process; different processes result in different costs. Generally, the cost is calculated based on depreciation + fixed costs + variable costs. Additionally, differences in the location where the factory is built as well as tax rates come into play, so it’s difficult to give a precise answer to this question
The international natural gas price is 0.35 RMB per cubic meter; so tell me, what is the cost of imported methanol? Our factory produces methanol from natural gas; the cost of producing 1 ton of methanol is around 1,500. Currently, the price of methanol is around 1,800, so we rely entirely on **asking CNPC to reduce the price
At the current coal prices, the cost of producing one ton of crude alcohol is around 2,000 yuan, while the cost of refined alcohol is about 300 yuan more than that
The cost of producing methanol from coal is relatively high; currently, the price of methanol is around 2000 yuan
