With so many methanol and dimethyl ether manufacturers in the country these days, where has all their product gone?

As the title says. Is methanol really that much worse than gasoline? How to handle dimethyl ether? Currently, there are still companies building facilities with a capacity of 3 million tons; the advantages of scale are understandable, but where does the product go?

Please consult your sales department; they know; There’s a saying: “If there are no fish in the river, look at the market.”

They are all used as chemical raw materials. Moreover, the scale is quite large, but the actual production capacity isn’t that much

It has a large scale, but the output is not necessarily high. That is, as everyone has heard, it is due to a severely insufficient utilization rate.

It’s all burning natural gas now, the same stuff used in taxis; there’s also some other material being burned

Reply to 2# lxf1900: I see that there are still companies working on methanol projects at present, including listed companies such as Yuanxing Energy, whose gross margin on methanol production is 16%. I find this puzzling – methanol is a commodity, and it must have a proper source; otherwise, how can the feasibility studies for these new projects be conducted? ?
