High Value Methanol from U.S. Natural Gas:

• Lake Charles Methanol II (LCM) is a state-of-the-art world-scale facility to manufacture 3.6 million metric tons per year of low- carbon methanol from U.S. natural gas

• LCM will convert abundant Haynesville natural gas into competitively priced methanol for domestic manufacturers and global markets, strengthening supply chains, creating high-quality jobs, and expanding U.S. industrial capacity

• When completed, LCM will be the 5th largest global methanol producer, increasing U.S. production over 30% and reasserting U.S. market leadership

• Construction start by Q4 2026

World-Scale Methanol

World-Scale Production — The Project will be one of the largest methanol producers in the world, utilizing advanced autothermal reformer technology to convert U.S. natural gas into high-value methanol for domestic use and global export.

Lake Charles Site

Lake Charles, LA Site — LCM will be a multi-billion-dollar investment in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Louisiana is a great place to do business, and LCM will be located at a premium site owned by the Port of Lake Charles.

Key Louisiana Support

Broad Support for Lake Charles Methanol II — LCM has received strong support from a broad range of stakeholders in the local community and across Louisiana.

Economic Benefits

New American Manufacturing and Construction Jobs — LCM is expected to create over 310,000 job-years and to induce a total present-value economic benefit in the U.S. economy of more than $77 billion, including $22 billion in labor income.

Low-Carbon Methanol

Low-Carbon Methanol — LCM will produce low-carbon methanol from natural gas. LCM’s methanol product will be much less carbon-intensive than traditional methanol produced without carbon-reduction technologies.
