NGC signs sales agreement for blue methanol
Trinidad and Tobago The agreement between subsidiaries NGC Petrochemicals and Gulf Coast Methanol 1 will allow NGC to purchase the low-carbon commodity and trade it once the Gulf Coast methanol plant begins operations.
The Gulf Coast methanol park situated 25 miles south of New Orleans will host four methanol units, each costing USD 1.5 billion-1.6 billion. The first unit is expected to come on line in 2026.
“NGC continues to prove its unequivocal commitment to the clean energy transition through partnerships such as these. We are following global markets closely and see the enormous potential value to be tapped in the area of blue and green energy commodity trading,” said President Mark Loquan of NGC.
The deal follows a term sheet signed by the two parties in December 2021.
