In a press release, the Japan based Mitsubishi said discussions are currently underway with a syndicate of Japanese banks for finalising the loan agreement.
Methanol is made mainly from natural gas and is used in a wide range of products, including adhesive agents, agricultural chemicals, paints, synthetic resins, and synthetic raw materials.
Dimethyl ether can be used as a substitute for LPG or as a substitute for diesel in automobiles and in power generation, and is therefore considered as a source of next-generation clean energy.
Methanol produced under the project will be marketed by MGC, MC and Massy and dimethyl ether will be promoted as a substitute for diesel in Trinidad and Tobago and in other Caribbean countries.
Plant design and construction will be undertaken by MHI under an EPC contract with the parties. (AR)
