AlwaysFree: Equinor Aims To Restart Norway Methanol Plant In About Four Weeks

Author: SSESSMENTS

According to Reuters article published on March 7, 2023, Equinor (EQNR.OL) aims to restart Europe's largest methanol plant at Tjeldbergodden in about four weeks, a spokesperson for the Norwegian company said on Tuesday.

Equinor shut the plant on Norway's west coast in February to install a mercury removal unit. It was previously expected to restart by the end of April.

"We are planning for a safe (production) start-up... We expect this to take around four weeks from now," said a spokesperson.

Tjeldbergodden has an annual methanol production capacity of around 900,000 tonnes, accounting for about a quarter of Europe's total, according to Equinor.

Equinor has 82.01% stake in the plant and ConocoPhillips (COP.N) owns the remaining 17.99%.
