Methanol Institute Rebrands as MI — The Global Methanol Alliance
The trade association representing the international methanol sector has unveiled a new identity to mirror its expanding cross-industry membership.
The Methanol Institute has formally changed its name to MI — The Global Methanol Alliance, updating its operational identity to better reflect its worldwide commercial network.
The industry body confirmed the transition on 1 September, noting that the new designation represents its development into a collaborative alliance linking stakeholders across the entire methanol value chain.
Ben Iosefa, Chair of the Board of Directors at MI, stated that the broader methanol sector has experienced substantial structural shifts over the past six years. He emphasized that the commodity has entered new commercial sectors while the organization's membership has simultaneously broadened across diverse industrial markets.
The rebranding arrives as the global maritime and energy industries increasingly evaluate methanol's role as a low-carbon transport fuel and chemical feedstock, driving broader participation from producers, technology providers, and end-users.
