Methanex Project Overview

Global methanol industry demand - by application Traditional chemical Applications % of global demand¹ Formaldehyde • ~26% • applications Acetic acid ~8% (Over 50% of global methanol • demand) Other traditional ~16% Methanol-to-olefins ~18% (MTO) Energy-related Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) ~11% applications (Close to 50% of Fuel applications ~10% global methanol demand) Dimethyl ether (DME) Biodiesel • ~6% ~5% 35 Source: IHS Chemical Supply and Demand Fall 2021 Update APPENDIX • . End uses Used as wood adhesive for plywood, particleboard and other engineered wood products Also used as raw material for a variety of building and automotive products Used to produce a wide variety of products including adhesives, paper, paint, plastics, resins, solvents, pharmaceuticals and textiles Used to produce a wide range of products including adhesives, coatings, plastics, film, textiles, paints, solvents, paint removers, polyester resins/fibers, silicone products Used as an alternative feedstock to produce light olefins (ethylene and propylene) to produce various everyday products used in packaging, textiles, plastic parts/containers and auto components Used as an oxygenate blending into gasoline to contribute octane and reduce the amount of harmful exhaust emissions from motor vehicles Used as an alternative clean-burning fuel for transportation, industrial boilers and kilns, and in a smaller quantity, for cooking stoves A clean-burning fuel that is used as a substitute for liquified petroleum gas (LPG) for household cooking and heating. Can be used as a clean-burning substitute for diesel fuel in transportation A renewable fuel made from plant oils or animal fats that uses methanol in the production process methanex the power of agility
