Methanol, as a product based on natural gas feedstock, accounts for a significant share of the production and export of the country's petrochemical industry products.

The deputy oil minister said: I believe that the added value created from the products produced at the end of the methanol chain is more economical, but the closest way to prevent crude sales and methanol exports and to prevent gasoline imbalances in the country is to implement MTG plans.

Fariborz Karimai said: If we expand the PDH/PP designs and produce a large volume of these products, we will be at the top of the semi-raw product production line in a few years.
