Oil prices have risen – is the spring for dimethyl ether here?

2009-03-25View Original

**Starting at midnight today, the National Development and Reform Commission has raised the price of gasoline by 290 yuan per ton. Does this mean that dimethyl ether becomes more competitive again? Has the \"spring\" for dimethyl ether arrived?

It’s still too early; crude oil prices have not risen steadily along with the economy. Methanol and dimethyl ether production takes place in winter, and at present coal and natural gas prices are very high. It is far more profitable to sell coal and natural gas than to produce methanol. Yet **since these companies are not allowed to sell those products, they continue to produce regardless of the consequences, engaging in reckless business practices that ultimately lead to their own destruction.

Looking at the overall situation, the enthusiasm for methanol and dimethyl ether has faded, and more companies and enterprises will calm down and carefully consider what to do next. However, ZF lacks comprehensive planning; it is believed that even if the economy recovers, the golden age for methanol and dimethyl ether is still far off.

Is the price increase meant to drive economic recovery?

The crisis isn’t over yet; you’re happy too early.

According to relevant analyses, oil prices will not exceed $70 per barrel in the next five years, and $150 is now a thing of the past.

It only increased by 290 yuan; I feel like that’s not enough at all
