Energy Allied International, headquartered in Houston, TX established in 1975 has a proven track record for successfully launching energy and infrastructure projects in the United States and worldwide. Energy Allied International was approved in May for an Air Permit (permit #RN111735213) for the construction of the Sandpiper Methanol plant located in Texas City.
Sandpiper’s current design and construction of this natural gas-to-methanol manufacturing facility would be located on land leased from Eastman Chemicals at the Bay Street site. Once operating the facility’s production is estimated to be at 3,000 MT/day. Feedstock (natural gas) for the facility would be delivered via a yet to be constructed third party pipeline and the finished goods (methanol) will supply the markets along the gulf coast and abroad via truck, rail and ship. Methanol is a chemical building block used to produce formaldehyde, acetic acid, and a variety of other chemical intermediates.
Construction would be anticipated to begin in early 2025 with operations commencing by year end
2027.
