Methanol produced by Ferrostaal is one of the most important basic chemicals in the petrochemical industry. It provides the basis for a wide range of products used in almost all areas of modern life. The organic chemical compound produced in our methanol plants is the simplest type of alcohol.

At room temperature, methanol is a clear, colourless, flammable and volatile liquid. Methanol is generally obtained from fossil fuels. In our methanol plants natural gas is used as feedstock.

Methanol can be used in many different applications. For example, not only does it play a major role in the chemical industry and petrochemicals - it has also become an indispensable energy source. Methanol is used in the energy sector in its pure form or mixed with other fuels, and is also employed in producing fuels.
