Methanol plant restarted by Equinor of Norway

Europe based Equinor has restarted its Methanol plant after brief maintenance. It is one of the largest methanol plants in Europe. Earlier the unit was shut down in the month of December on back of fire issue and was now restarted last week. Equinor’s plant has the production capacity of 900,000 tonnes/year and is based at Tjeldbergodden; Norway The effect of such a shutdown would have been very different if the timing was earlier in 2018, for example the summer when concerns about possible delayed material from Russia due to World Cup-related transport restrictions helped push up values.
