The project adds an annual supply of 350,000 tons of green methanol, which is expected to increase market supply and exert downward pressure on spot prices. Combined with methanol MA futures data, the main contract 2605 closed at 2,273 yuan/ton. The expectation of supply expansion may put pressure on futures prices, leading to downward pressure on future contracts.
