Singapore-based Methanol Institute (MI) has taken interest to promote methanol economy in India through APL (Assam Petro-chemical Limited). In India, APL continues to be the highest producer of methanol to meet the growing demand of this alternative fuel in the nation.
Methanol is a liquid chemical used in thousands of everyday products, including plastics, paints, cosmetics, fuels, etc., besides being an energy resource used in marine, automotive and electric sectors. The APL at Namrup produces 100 Tonne Per Day (TPD) of methanol the highest in the country.
Singapore-based MI has come forward to support the development of methanol economy in India.
Now the APL is known the world over for its methanol production. We’re producing 100 TPD of methanol now. The work for an extended project for the production of 500 TPD of methanol is underway.
