Methanex weighs Medicine Hat expansion amid study of sites
Methanex is considering tripling methanol output at its Medicine Hat plant as part of a North American site study. The federal EA Review Agency issued a public input call on a second plant north of the Methanex site in Brier Park, with Medicine Hat listed as a potential expansion site.
