Meet the biggest buyers and sellers ahead of contracting season at the industry's leading methanol event

In preparation for contracting season, the Argus Methanol Forum returns to Houston, Texas on September 8–10, uniting over 200 global industry leaders for three days of knowledge sharing, strategic discussions, and high-value networking. This is a key event for addressing the latest trends and overcoming challenges in the methanol industry.

As methanol markets adapt to shifting trade dynamics and growing demand across sectors, grey methanol continues to underpin global supply, playing a critical role in established applications such as formaldehyde, acetic acid, and fuel blending.

The global push toward decarbonization is also opening up new opportunities for methanol as a flexible, low-carbon solution for transport, chemicals, and emerging hydrogen applications. This momentum creates a unique window of opportunity to shape the future of the industry.

Do not miss your opportunity to connect with producers, buyers, technology providers, financial institutions, shippers, aviation, chemical companies, and project developers as we chart the next phase of methanol’s growth in a low-carbon world.

Key insights on the agenda

Global outlook, grey methanol, and shifting trade dynamics

Gain critical insights into global methanol demand, trade flows, and the shifting economics of conventional production, including the outlook for key applications and regions like China, Europe and North America. Explore how grey methanol continues to anchor supply amid geopolitical tensions, evolving cost structures, and changing investment dynamics.

Scaling low-carbon methanol: investment, infrastructure, and offtake momentum

Explore what’s driving global investment in low-carbon methanol and how regions like Asia, Europe, and North America are building capacity using CO₂ capture and renewable hydrogen. Gain insights into evolving infrastructure, emerging offtake strategies, and how producers are positioning low-carbon methanol as either a distinct commodity or part of the traditional market.

Delve into the crucial role of policies, tax credits, and incentives

Hear about the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), 45V hydrogen tax credits, and 45Z, in shaping the future of methanol production. Discussions will focus on how these policies are driving investment in low-carbon technologies and what risks and opportunities arise in an evolving regulatory landscape.

Methanol in maritime and aviation: fuelling the future of transportation

Delve into the potential of methanol as an alternative fuel in the maritime and aviation sectors, including recent projects, technologies, and partnerships aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of shipping and air travel. It will explore the economic and environmental benefits of switching to methanol-based fuels for these hard-to-decarbonize industries.
