Methanex Project Overview

14 Methanol is an essential ingredient in modern life TRADITIONAL CHEMICAL APPLICATIONS Essential ingredient used in countless industrial and consumer products (approx. 50% of global methanol demand) Methanol is used to produce a variety of chemical derivatives that are the building blocks for a wide range of everyday consumer and industrial items Insulation Adhesives Lumber Solvents Synthetic fibers ENERGY-RELATED APPLICATIONS Represents a growing demand segment for methanol (approx. 50% of global methanol demand) Methanol can be used to produce olefins to make various everyday products Methanol is a clean-burning fuel that can help improve local air quality by reducing emissions • Marine fuel that can meet current/future environment regulations Lower emission vehicle fuel Clean burning fuel for thermal applications including industrial boilers, kilns, cooking stoves Demand is influenced by energy prices, price of end products and government regulations/policies Methanol-to- olefins (MTO) Methyl tertiary- butyl ether (MTBE) Fuel applications Limited, if any, cost-effective substitutes for methanol-based chemical derivative products and demand for these applications is relatively price inelastic Demand is linked to GDP and industrial production levels, particularly automotive and construction markets Paint methanex the power of agility
