The Power of Agility
21
Geismar 3 is an industry-leading plant
Optimizing efficiency and reducing emissions intensity through synergistic design
Investment strategy
Meeting growing demand for methanol
Significant capital and operating cost
savings from brownfield site advantages
generates strong project returns and cash
flow generation
One of the lowest CO2 emissions intensity
profiles in the industry at ~0.4 tonnes of
CO2/tonne of methanol compared to our
portfolio intensity of 0.6 which is ~5 times
lower than a coal-based methanol plant
Significantly de-risked during care and
maintenance period; all major equipment
items are onsite
Key milestones
Broke ground September 2019; project
put on care and maintenance Q2 2020 to
Q3 2021 due to the pandemic; restarted
construction in August 2021
~50% complete as of February 28, 2022
