Nextchem Advances Methanol for Low-Carbon Energy and Industry

Nextchem positions methanol as a central element in the global shift to carbon neutrality. The company highlights methanol's dual role as an industrial building block and a low-emission fuel for sectors like shipping and transport. Nextchem develops technologies, including its AdWinMethanol Zero process, to support sustainable methanol production. Methanol can be derived from diverse sources, such as biomass, waste, and captured carbon dioxide, broadening its low-carbon potential. The global methanol market is expected to expand significantly, driven by the shipping industry's decarbonization mandates. The forthcoming Pacifico Mexinol plant in Mexico will produce ultra-low carbon methanol, demonstrating the integration of industrial capacity with environmental goals. Nextchem addresses challenges in scaling low-carbon methanol, focusing on securing renewable feedstocks and developing green hydrogen infrastructure. The company aims to reduce emissions and integrate methanol into a circular economy, contributing to the decarbonization of fuels, plastics, and construction materials.
