U.S. ITC delays AGCL expansion plans for Medicine Hat
The International Trade Commission ordered a full inquiry into Du Pont dumping charges against Alberta Gas Chemicals Ltd and postponed the Medicine Hat plant expansion at least six months. AGCL president Dr. Charles Allard said the delay stems from the ITC referral to the U.S. Treasury for a comprehensive probe and warned proceeding without market assurance would be too risky. The proposed two stage expansion, starting with a $50 million unit, would double methanol capacity and create hundreds of jobs locally.
