Methanex Says Its Egypt Methanol Production Facility Was Temporarily Idled This Morning; Says Working Closely With Its Partner And Gas Supplier To Resume Gas Supply
The company said its 1.26 million tonne Egypt methanol production facility (Methanex 50% equity interest of 0.63 million tonnes per annum) was temporarily idled this morning as lower gas supply and increased seasonal demand for power generation has led to gas curtailments to industrial plants. Methanex is working closely with its partner and gas supplier to resume gas supply.
