Equinor plans to restart Norway methanol plant in one month

In Norway, Reuters reported that Norwegian energy firm Equinor aims to restart its methanol plant at Tjeldbergodden in about four weeks. Equinor shut the plant on Norway’s west coast in February to install a mercury removal unit. It was previously expected to restart by the end of April, according to the report. “We are planning for a safe (production) start-up… We expect this to take around four weeks from now,” Reuters quoted a company spokesperson as saying. The Tjeldbergodden methanol plant has an annual production capacity of around 900,000 tons, according to Equinor.
