Development of downstream products for methanol
Thread Content
At present, which are the most competitive downstream products of methanol? If methanol is not synthesized, what can net gas be used for competitively?

There are many uncertainties in the future, and PX still holds an advantage in terms of competitiveness. It’s the C era – hydrocarbons play a major role, and the simplest options are those that are most effective and have the greatest potential for development
Acetic acid and its downstream products, ethanol, dimethyl carbonate, gasoline and diesel additives.
The downstream products of methanol include, roughly: formaldehyde, glacial acetic acid, dimethyl ether (DME), MTBE, dimethylformamide (DMF), methylamine, methyl formate, chloromethane (CMC), ethylene glycol, dimethyl carbonate (DMC), dimethyl sulfate, methyl methacrylate, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), dimethyl terephthalate (DMT), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), MTO/MTP, methanol protein, synthetic rubber, methanol fuel, fuel cells, and more.
