Source: Historical annual data and forecast from IHS Chemical, October, 2016

• Methanol is primarily made from natural gas, and is a liquid fuel and oil product alternative

• High priced oil versus natural gas creates substitution incentive

• Energy applications emerged post 2008 when the ratio of oil $/bbl and natural gas $/mmbtuprices exceeded 15:1

Methanol as Energy

8

• MTO an alternative process to Naptha cracking for olefins production (plastics)

• Two main pathways

• Upstream Integrated (CTO) – olefins produced directly from coal, methanol an intermediate step

• Merchant (MTO) – methanol purchased from external suppliers

• China merchant MTO capacity well established, still growing strongly

• DME can be blended directly with LPG (propane) up to approximately 20% for cooking and heating applications.

• Future promising application for DME is as a diesel replacement:

• Oberon Fuels Produces DME in the U.S.

• ASTM Standard issued, California approval, qualified under U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard.

• Volvo developing DME trucks.

• Ford projects underway in Europe and Canada to test DME in light duty cars and trucks
