Charlie Yao, CEO and president of Yuhuang Chemical Industries Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of Shandong Yuhuang Chemical Co Ltd, wanted to build a $1.85 billion methanol production facility on 1,200 acres of farmland in St. James Parish, Louisiana.
YCI announced on Aug 23 that it has entered into a business agreement with Wichita, Kansas-based Koch Methanol Investment, a company that distributes chemicals.
As part of the deal, Koch has acquired an indirect minority equity interest in YCI Methanol One Llc.
The deal also gives Koch affiliates methanol off-take rights from the Yuhuang facility, as well as the right to construct, own and operate the methanol terminal assets for the outbound flow via ship, rail and truck.
"Koch Methanol's decision to invest in YCI Methanol sends a clear signal to the industry about the strength of this facility," said Yao.
"Located in a strategic location near the Mississippi River, YCI is the biggest greenfield investment in methanol by a Chinese company in Louisiana.
"He chose the US because it has a big market for methanol, and it also has lower costs for natural gas, a feedstock for methanol," Yao said.
Methanol is a chemical used in the manufacturing of numerous everyday consumer products, such as paints, plastics, furniture and carpeting.
According to Marketsand-Markets, which provides industry research, the global methanol market is expected to reach $54.16 billion by 2021.
The global production of methanol is 40 million metric tons per year.
A 2017 report from IHS Markit shows that Northeast Asia, which accounts for 54 percent of global methanol capacity, is the world's leading consumer of methanol, followed by North America, Western Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
Yao said commercial production of methanol for YCI is expected to begin in mid-2020.

Hudong-Zhonghua has continued to innovate, and improve R&D in powering container ships with low-carbon energy sources, including LNG, liquid ammonia and methanol, by tapping into the specific requirements of ship owners.
The world's number one container liner company is one of the company's clients and about 80 percent of the company's orders are from overseas, said Li Hao, director of international operation department of Guangzhou Shipyard International Co Ltd, a subsidiary of China State Shipbuilding Co Ltd. More than 60 percent of the company's existing orders are high-tech, high value-added methanol dual fuel or LNG dual fuel new green ship types, which can reduce emissions of carbon, nitrogen oxides and sulfur thus greatly reducing environmental pollution, the report said.
This will be propelled by increased global demand for new vessels utilizing liquefied natural gas, methanol, hydrogen and fuel cells as power sources, as well as the quick development of China's three shipbuilding clusters in the Yangtze River Delta region, Pearl River Delta region and Bohai Bay area, said Zheng.
Hydrogen use in shipping, mostly as derivative fuels such as ammonia and methanol, is expected to start in the late 2030s and reach annual consumption of 5 million tons in 2050, it said.
With green energy of methanol as their main fuel, the 366-meter long and 51-meter wide vessels will be researched, developed, and designed independently by Chinese shipbuilding organizations, and they are capable of meeting the world's strictest emission requirements.
China's first hydrogen fuel production station using methanol to power the process began operating recently in the Dalian Area of China (Liaoning) Pilot Free Trade Zone.
Sun said the station uses China's first distributed methanol hydrogen production system, — which was independently developed by Sinopec, including a number of innovation achievements — and is expected to be easily replicated and scaled up.
Of the 1-million-ton target, 70 percent will be used for methanol and ammonia production.
BloombergNEF estimates that if all methanol production in Ordos was made using green hydrogen as a feedstock, corresponding green hydrogen demand would reach 2 million tons per year, twice Ordos' total 2030 target.
Methanol is a clean fuel that can be made from abundant coal resources in the country and is widely seen as an ideal alternative fuel, Li said.
China also included the development of methanol vehicles in its plan for the green development of its industrial sectors during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25) and highlighted the replacement of fossil-fuel vehicles with clean-burning methanol.
"Methanol automobiles are expected to enjoy the same policy support as other NEVs so that more companies will be encouraged to join in the sector.
Alternative fuels have now become the most important area of technological innovation in the shipping business, such as engines powered by ammonia, liquefied natural gas and methanol, as well as hydrogen powered engines in the future.
如今，替代燃料已成为船舶业技术创新最为关键的领域，其中包括以氨、液化天然气和甲醇为动力的发动机，以及未来有望实现的氢动力发动机。
With smog-removal air purifiers decreasing in popularity, products tackling methanol, a major indoor pollutant, have become more popular since late last year and may become more mainstream in future, the report said.
Chen Qi, deputy chief of the association's air purification committee, said with improving outdoor air quality, consumers may show increasing demand for air purifiers able to remove methanol effectively, and producers need to intensify their research to help meet this demand.
The new technologies include procedures like pressurized liquefaction, cooling, and low-temperature methanol washing.
Methanol vehicles, like hydrogen ones, are ultimate NEVs, said Li Shufu, chairman of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, on Thursday.
"Methanol vehicles will bring about great business opportunities for both the auto industry and the energy industry," said Li at the 5th Methanol Vehicles and Fuel Application Equipment Exhibition.
"I am confident in the green methanol sector and the green methanol vehicle sector," said Li.
Li said methanol is clean and easy to transport and store so it is an ideal source of energy.
Also, producing one ton of methanol requires 1.38 tons of carbon dioxide, so it is conducive to China's dual carbon goals, he added.
Geely has unveiled around 20 methanol models, including both passenger vehicles and commercial ones.
Over 30,000 methanol vehicles from Geely have hit the roads, with their combined mileage reaching 10 billion kilometers, said the carmaker.
Daniel Li, CEO of Geely Holding Group, said: "The proposed investment by Aramco represents recognition from global industry leaders in the future business prospects and vision for pioneering low and carbon-free fuels such as methanol and hydrogen.
"Geely, a global enterprise, has a rich product line that includes combustion engine vehicles, electric cars, hybrid vehicles, methanol cars and even battery swaps, Xue said.
Chinese automotive group Geely has started a trial of two sedans and a heavy truck using green methanol e-fuel in Denmark on March 28.
Trine Bramsen, Danish Minister for Transport, fills up one of Geely's sedans with methanol, and took part in a test drive on the long-range methanol truck.
Green methanol cars will have a huge impact on Denmark's climate and environment and will even change the entire world, she said.
The use of green methanol for commercial shipping has already been pioneered by Danish shipping giant Maersk.
Denmark has also established a strong infrastructure for the production, storage, and transport of methanol fuel.
"We are able to manufacture conventional gasoline-powered vehicles as well as cars running on methanol and hybrids.
Industry insiders said the move is part of China's broader efforts to relieve environmental pollution and reduce its dependency on imported petroleum as methanol, a clean fuel that can be made from abundant coal resources in China, is widely seen as an ideal alternative energy.
The guideline pointed out as well that related authorities are considering involving methanol vehicles in the dual-credit policy, a policy requiring carmakers in China to produce a certain number of new energy vehicles to gain credits.
"With the coming of the top-level decision, methanol vehicles are able to hit the road finally after five-year of tests and trials.
It will help methanol vehicles to develop in a sustainable and scientific manner," said Jia Xinguang, executive director of the China Automobile Dealers Association.
From 2012 to 2017, the ministry has held trials of methanol vehicles in 10 cities across the country.
In Southwest China's Guizhou province, for instance, more than 5,000 methanol-fueled taxis and 13 methanol filling stations have been put into trial operation.
Gregory Doran, CEO of The Methanol Institute, pointed out that leading Chinese players have already mastered key technologies in developing and producing methanol vehicles and China can be a "teacher" globally in promoting methanol vehicles.
A case in point is that Zhejiang Geely Holding Group has been striving to independently develop methanol vehicles for more than 10 years.
As the first automaker in China to engage in M100 methanol research, it has invested a total of $45.5 million in Iceland's Carbon Recycling International Inc, which is known as the world leader in methanol technology.
"Currently in China, a large group of people and companies still lack objective perception toward methanol vehicles.
China's methanol output totaled 43.14 million tons in the January- November period last year, MIIT data showed.
The guidelines call for increased efforts to put the vehicles into use, and encourage automakers to develop passenger cars, vehicles for commercial use, and machinery trucks fueled by methanol.
"The guidelines mark another step forward in the commercialization of methanol vehicles," said Wei Anli, secretary-general of the group responsible for methanol vehicle trials under MIIT.
China already leads the world in both scale and technology in methanol vehicles, and related tests and trials have already been carried out, Wei said.
Methanol should be promoted at a national level and access to methanol vehicles should be improved.
The chairman of leading Chinese auto maker Zhejiang Geely Holding Group called for more efforts to promote the use of vehicles powered by methanol, a promising alternative fuel that is widely regarded as renewable and clean.
Li Shufu, founder of Geely and also a deputy to the 13th National People's Congress, said methanol is a clean burning fuel.
It can be made from coal or biomass resources that are extensive in China, which makes methanol an ideal replacement of gasoline for the country.
Methanol should be promoted at a national level as a clean, renewable energy source, and access to methanol vehicles should be improved, Li said.
Li's enthusiasm for methanol-fueled vehicles comes as China is conducting trials of methanol vehicles in a number of cities, including Guiyang, capital of Guizhou province, and Shanghai.
Wei Anli, secretary-general of the group responsible for the country's methanol vehicle trial work under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said leading Chinese players have already mastered key technologies in developing and producing methanol vehicles.
He Guangyuan, then minister of the former Machinery Industry Ministry of China, said once commercialized and well-utilized, methanol can play a part in protecting China's energy security.
Promoting methanol fuel as an alternative can help reduce such dependency," He said.
Geely is already making progress in developing methanol vehicles.
It has invested $45.5 million in Iceland's Carbon Recycling International Inc, which is known as the world leader in methanol technology.
It will also accelerate the deployment of its technology in China and Europe, and facilitate the development of methanol fuel cars, according to CRI.
"China has gained new momentum in the commercialization of methanol vehicles and already leads the world in both scale and technology," said Wei Anli, secretary-general of the group responsible for the country's methanol vehicle trial work under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
"The country has already mastered mature technologies in developing and producing methanol vehicles, and is also exploring new ways," added Wei, who is former deputy secretary-general of the China Internal Combustion Engine Industry Association.
"Southwest China's Guizhou province has set a goal of launching 10,000 methanol vehicles by the end of this year, among which 7,000 will run in Guiyang, the provincial government told China Daily.
The Guizhou government said it will introduce fresh policies including subsidies that encourage government departments, taxi companies and driving schools to use methanol vehicles.
Currently, there are more than 5,000 methanol-fueled taxis in Guizhou, which account for 75 percent of the total methanol vehicles in the country.
The government has also established 13 methanol filling stations.
With these advantages, Guizhou has already surpassed other regions in China to become the pioneer in utilizing methanol vehicles.
"Like new energy vehicles, we will also offer preferential policies related to buying methanol vehicles, such as applying for licenses and loosening the odd-and-even plate driving ban rule," said a Guizhou government official, who did not disclose his name.
Local authorities also plan to build new stations that offer methanol filling.
