Northwest Innovation Works Kalama (NWIWK) proposes to construct and operate a methanol production facility on approximately 90 acres at the Port of Kalama’s Northport site. The proposed facility is referred to as the Kalama Manufacturing and Marine Export Facility (KMMEF).
As proposed, KMMEF will have the capacity to produce up to 10,000 metric tons of AA grade methanol per day, and will be configured with two production lines, each with a daily production capacity of 5,000 metric tons. Annual methanol production capacity will be approximately 3.6 million metric tons per year (mtpy). Methanol will be manufactured by removing impurities from natural gas, creating synthesis gas (“syngas”) from the purified feedstock gas, and then converting the syngas into liquid methanol. Natural gas feedstock for the facility will be provided via pipeline by Northwest Pipeline GP. Finished methanol will be stored on site prior to shipment to global markets via marine vessel. A new dock will be constructed in support of shipping operations.
