Around the world, the energy sector is undergoing a profound transformation. Nations are seeking solutions that maintain reliability while reducing emissions and controlling costs– an equation especially challenging for small, fuel‑importing island states. As discussions shift from long‑term ambitions to practical, deployable options, methanol is emerging with renewed relevance. For Proman, one of the world’s largest methanol producers and a cornerstone of Trinidad and Tobago’s energy economy, methanol represents far more than a globally traded commodity. It offers an opportunity to strengthen Caribbean energy resilience, create new economic pathways, and position the region at the forefront of scalable, cleaner power generation.
