Behind, northwest reduced supply in a large-scale regional production is also ongoing. Since mid November, a field known as the strongest in the history of the “environmental protection” is sweeping across the north, Shanxi, Hebei and other regions.

It is understood that this time because of environmental factors lead to the limiting storm relates to North China and Henan and the Beijing Tianjin Tangshan area. As everyone knows, in recent years China’s haze weather makes the environmental problem has become an important problem related to people’s livelihood, and the end of November and early December nationwide haze, making a large number of Hebei, and Shandong, Henan, Shanxi coal chemical industry, iron and steel, building materials enterprises were included in the list of enterprises to stop production, limited production.

On the methanol market, only Hebei, Shanxi and Henan provinces, involving methanol production capacity of 3 million tons / year, accounting for 5% of the total domestic production capacity. The direct production of more than 1 million tons / year, the load is reduced to 7 following the nearly 2 million tons / year.

“Although in methanol Enterprises Limited production at the same time, also for methanol downstream enterprises synchronous limited production, but heavily dependent on external supply in Shandong area, the most seriously affected. Shanxi, Henan limited production, has a direct impact on the Shandong area outside Shandong area of methanol supply, demand, high prices.” JOYOU information analyst at Pengsen says.

High on the occasion of the majority of the market, Shandong, Jiangsu, northwest, and Zhejiang port surrounding areas cannot form the spread of goods supply to the eastern port, and not enough goods on the East China market, East China methanol stocks continued to decline, while the outer disk prices continued high, the devaluation of the RMB, the importers will is not strong, this under the background of East China, now go high synchronization also reasonable. In particular, Changzhou Fu Tak Jiangsu Shenghong two sets of test in the hope of olefin plant early next year, this is to supply goods shortage is expected to increase the market.

“Environmental protection production, this effect will continue, because the use of coal in winter season, seasonal environmental pressure, expected short-term internal pressure caused by the phenomenon of environmental protection enterprises underemployment will still continue.” Wang Pu said.

There are many factors with the limit
