Methanex Provides Update on Trinidad and Tobago Operations

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Methanex Corporation (the “Company” or “Methanex”) (TSX: MX) (Nasdaq: MEOH) announced today that it has been unable to agree to a new natural gas contract for its Titan methanol plant in Trinidad and Tobago (860,000 tonnes per year capacity) and, as a result, will begin the process of indefinitely idling the facility. Titan’s existing natural gas contract expires in the third quarter of 2026. Methanex will undertake a preservation process at the Titan plant to provide optionality for a future restart should conditions materially improve. The Atlas methanol plant, a joint venture in which Methanex holds a 63.1% economic interest, remains indefinitely idled in a preserved state.
