Approximately 65% of our current North American natural gas requirements are under fixed price contracts or hedges. The unhedged portion of our North American natural gas requirements are purchased under contracts at spot prices. Estimates assume a natural gas price of approximately $3.00/mmbtu. 5 Based on rule of thumb using current production capability of ~7.0M tonnes, we estimate free cash flow breakeven price of $250-260/tonne and free cash flow sensitivity to change in methanol price of $25/tonne = ~$100M annual free cash flow.
