Commenting on Methanex’s participation, Mohamed Shindy said: “I am looking forward to reconnecting with industry leaders, colleagues, and friends at EGYPES 2024— the largest oil and gas show in Egypt and the region. This year’s show presents great opportunities for Methanex to share knowledge and vision around the future of methanol and its vital role in advancing global energy transitions and a low-carbon economy. ”
