INEOS Acetyls and Sandpiper Chemicals team up for Texas low carbon methanol
In Texas, INEOS Acetyls and Sandpiper Chemicals, LLC recently announced the formation of a strategic collaboration in support of Sandpiper’s low carbon methanol production facility in Texas City, Texas. INEOS will become a shareholder and an anchor customer of Sandpiper. The project represents a significant milestone in Sandpiper’s commitment to accelerating the clean energy transition and delivering competitively priced chemical feedstocks to global markets.
The low carbon methanol facility will be located on INEOS’ Texas City site, leveraging the region’s established petrochemical infrastructure, deep-water port access, and skilled workforce. Sandpiper’s plant is designed to produce approximately 1.1 million metric tons per annum (MTPA) of low carbon methanol utilizing natural gas with carbon capture, targeting a carbon intensity significantly below the conventional methanol production benchmark. Up to 300,000 tons per year will be consumed by INEOS for its Acetic Acid production.
