c)甲醇生产能力 2000年世界甲醇生产能力为125亿加仑(350万t),其中80％得到利用。这个行业在每年的经济活动中创造了120亿美元的价值,同时提供了超过10万个直接或间接就业机会。十几年前,甲醇生产企业的生产规模通常是60万t/年,而现在同样的企业可以达到100万t/年,十年内超大规模企业的产量提高到350万t/年。甲醇的供应不再受到限制,因为甲醇生产的原料很丰富,品种多,并且从长远 c) Methanol Production Capacity The world’s methanol production capacity in 2000 was 12.5 billion gallons (3.5 million tons), of which 80% was utilized. The industry has generated $ 12 billion in annual economic activity while providing over 100,000 direct and indirect employment opportunities.
