S&P Global Platts Petrochemicals Webinar Series – Methanol – A Global View – September 2019
Date: Thursday, September 12, 2019
Time: 2 pm BST

Can methanol-to-olefins units continue to operate with weak olefins markets? Can European producers compete as new capacities come online? Will demand from the shipping sector grow after 2020?

With increasing capacities and changes in trade policies, global methanol markets have been under pressure in the first half of this year. Market players are keeping an eye on shifting trade flows, waiting for demand from traditional and non-traditional applications to absorb growing global supplies.

Join S&P Global Platts for an insightful webinar on the global methanol markets.
