Senator W. Jay Luneau announces a new partnership between SunGas Renewables and C2X.  The new partnership should create about 1,150 construction jobs and more than 100 local operational jobs for the $2 billion Beaver Lake Renewable Energy green methanol facility.

Construction on the facility is on the former International Paper site and expected to start in 2026.  Once the facility is constructed, the project should generate 400,000 metric tons of green methanol each year for marine fuel and chemical feedstock use.

Green methanol is becoming a fuel of choice for decarbonizing the global shipping industry,
