Methanex is idling a methanol production plant in Trinidad and Tobago because of gas supply issues, according to reports from Investing.com and Seeking Alpha. The company takes the action as it faces problems securing the natural gas needed to run operations at the facility. Seeking Alpha specifies the plant’s capacity as 860,000 tons per year, indicating a significant portion of Methanex’s methanol output is affected by the interruption. Investing.com similarly describes the decision to idle the Trinidad plant, attributing it to disruptions or constraints in the gas supply. The reports do not provide a definitive timeline for when production will resume, focusing instead on the immediate operational impact from the gas-related issue. Overall, both outlets present the idling as a response to feedstock availability rather than demand changes, highlighting that the plant’s operations depend on stable access to natural gas for methanol production.
