Global demand: Methanol, ammonia and LPG products
-
Methanol, ammonia and LPG products form a vital component of an integrated value chain serving diverse end markets.
- Outlook supported by growing demand, expanding MENA exports, and strong market fundamentals.
- OQBI’s key export markets driving global demand.
- MENA and the Americas are key supply hubs for global methanol, ammonia and LPG products.
Key drivers: Methanol
-
Continued absolute growth into MTO / MTP despite slowdown vs. historical period.
-
GDP-linked traditional chemicals demand.
-
Higher oil and LNG prices supporting methanol break into gasoline blending and other fuel applications.
-
Potential demand upside via marine fuels applications during transition to low-carbon methanol (e-methanol and bio-methanol).
Key drivers: Ammonia
-
Steady demand driven by nitrogen fertiliser consumption, supported by income and population growth and emerging regions.
-
Market forecast to remain finely balanced in the medium-term.
-
Medium-term start-up of new downstream ammonium phosphates capacity will tighten the market.
-
Normalisation of price above historical average, with a fall in gas prices and logistics constraints easing over the last two years.
Key drivers: LPG products
-
LPG products are by-products of natural gas and crude oil production, making supply inelastic.
-
Marginal demand from steam crackers switching to LPG feedstock from naphtha, to meet China’s petrochemical demand and energy demand in emerging economies (particularly off-grid regions).
-
Supply additions slowdown post-2030 from gas processing, with loss of refinery LPG product volumes due to lower refinery utilisation and shutdown of less competitive assets.
-
Longer-term pricing supported by rising crude oil prices, driven by more expensive non-OPEC production and higher OPEC market share.
Future opportunity
Methanol and ammonia as marine fuels
-
Key legislations are expected to affect the maritime sector with a focus on emissions reduction.
-
Methanol and ammonia are projected to play key roles in marine fuel demand in the medium-term.
-
Long-term focus will be on lower carbon solutions, presenting an opportunity for traditional methanol and ammonia in the interim.
-
Key players have been ordering methanol vessels in recent years.
