Speaking to NIPNA, Seyed Ahmad Azimi, a member of the board of
directors of the company and Vice President of Petrofarhang, stressed the need
for ensuring convergence and interaction between petrochemical holding companies
and firms on the path of development of the petrochemical industry, saying once
the company’s development projects become operational, it will be the largest concentrated
methanol produced in the Middle East.
He said the projects were defined with the aim of boosting exports and
Petrofarhang would play a crucial part in methanol exports of the country.
The official further added that production of methanol and its value
chain were the chief inclination of the company in its investment in the petrochemical
industry.
In the petrochemical industry, items like methanol, propylene and
ethylene are regarded as strategic items and investment on each of them would
be a wise choice, he said.
