On January 24, 2019, the Methanol Institute sponsored a Methanol Fuel Forum in Trinidad and Tobago in association with Proman and MI member MHTL. The forum introduced methanol as an automotive fuel, highlighting the benefits of blending methanol in gasoline for Trinidad. Produced in Trinidad, blending of methanol in gasoline can reduce oil imports, provide savings for consumers, and help improve the environment. Moreover, it can be used as diesel fuel substitute for heavy-duty engines which will reduce emissions for trucks, buses and off-road vehicle.
