Helium One raised £3m to develop the Pinyon Canyon helium and CO2 processing plant in Colorado. The plant has a nameplate capacity of 44,500 Mcf CO2 per month and aims for full output by end‑2027, with CO2 sales expected to start in Q1 2027 after liquefaction unit commissioning. This upcoming supply increase is likely to ease CO2 prices.
Japan launched the methanol-fueled chemical tanker Kokuryu Maru, which received its first biomethanol bunkering from MGC’s Niigata Plant and will serve as a methanol bunkering vessel. This expands methanol use as a marine fuel, indicating growing demand that could push prices upward.
Methyl salicylate prices were observed to be fluctuating continuously during the second half of the year 2023. Methyl salicylate often closely observes the market behavior of its feedstock materials, methanol and salicylic acid, and this time around, too, the prices were found to be in close alliance with the raw material costs.
The beginning of quarter three was humble as the inventories were still stocked with excess products, which forced suppliers to cut down the prices in order to promote product movement in the market. However, as the stocks started depleting, the price graph started rising again. This situation went on for some time till the middle of the fourth quarter. After that, the global trade depreciation started affecting all industries, and the lackluster demand in the international market again pushed down the methyl salicylate prices. Overall, mixed market sentiments were witnessed.
