Air Liquide announced today that it has been selected by Natgasoline LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of OCI N.V., as the supplier of oxygen for its new world-scale methanol plant in Beaumont, Texas.

Air Liquide will invest around €90m (more than $120m) in this high growth area for the chemical industry.
