Norwegian energy company Equinor provided Ukrgasvydobuvannya JSC, which is the part of Naftogaz Group, with 2000 tons of methanol.

"This is a critically important raw material for natural gas production, processing and transportation, and it has already been delivered to Ukraine. We are extremely grateful to our partners for their support in such a difficult time for Ukraine", - Oleksiy Chernyshov, Head of Naftogaz Group, said.

The supply of methanol is supported by the Emergency Response Coordination Centre (ERCC) at European Commission under the EU`s mechanism for protection of civilians and the Ukraine`s Operational Support Group of the Energy Community Secretariat’s Ukraine Support Task Force (ECS-USTF). 

Complex logistical solutions were required in order to deliver a lot consisting of 2000 tons of methanol. For the first time in the history of Ukrgasvydobuvannya, this raw material was delivered from Europe by rail. 

We have been maintaining professional contacts with Equinor for several years. We hope to further expand our cooperation to ensure the Europe`s energy stability", - Oleg Tolmachev, Acting CEO of Ukrgasvydobuvannya, said.

As previously reported, Ukrgasvydobuvannya received 6000 tons of methanol from USAID.
