​The “Methanol Applications for Sustainability” seminar that is organized by Salalah Methanol Company with the support of the Methanol Institute will take place in Salalah, Oman, on September 17, 2019. The seminar draws in speakers from around the world to share their experience with methanol in a variety of applications. They range from power generation, fuel for land transportation, and fuel for marine transportation, and renewable methanol. Methanol’s clean burning properties and ability to be produced renewably from renewable electricity and carbon capture, as well as different kinds of waste is increasingly becoming an attractive solution to bolster more sustainable economies in different countries. Countries such as China and India have embarked on this path and other countries are following suit. This seminar aims to provoke thought on how methanol can be a solution for Oman’s challenges in its continued development as the country has an abundance of feedstock options for the production of methanol. Targeting decision-makers within the Omani government and private sector, the seminar will bring together an audience that understands Oman’s challenges and they will hear about experiences with methanol in other countries that could be useful to replicate in Oman. ​​
