Mission & Goals
The Methanol Institute (MI) is the global trade association for the methanol industry, representing leading producers, distributors, and technology companies worldwide. Founded in 1989 in Washington, D.C., MI is an international organization with offices in Washington, Beijing, Brussels, Delhi, and Singapore — connecting regions and bringing together the full methanol value chain. As the voice of the global methanol industry, MI works with governments, international organizations, and industry partners across sectors to advance policies and collaborations that support methanol’s role in the energy transition. Methanol is a versatile chemical used in countless everyday products and, when produced from renewable or low-carbon sources, a low-emission fuel that can help decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors such as shipping and aviation.
