Unlocking a more resilient and sustainable future
Sustainability is a driving force in our business. It's an attitude and a mindset that shapes our decisions and actions every day.
Our rapidly growing world faces ever more complex and urgent challenges, from the accelerating pace of climate change and the loss of natural resources and biodiversity to the intense pressure on our food supplies and energy systems. But there is a way forward. A way to power and feed our world that’s less damaging and destabilizing.
By investing in, scaling, and developing practical, low carbon solutions, we’re unlocking opportunities to decarbonize food, fuel, and feedstock, revolutionizing energy-intensive industries and powering a cleaner future sooner.

We can decarbonize the industries that create approximately 90% of today’s global greenhouse gas emissions across our end markets of food, fuel, and feedstock
Revolutionizing energy intensive industries
As we decarbonize we’re providing game-changing, practical solutions for our customers.
Clean fuels for shipping
We’re powering the decarbonization of shipping with methanol and ammonia produced from renewable and circular feedstocks. With the maritime industry navigating increased regulation to accelerate decarbonization such as the latest updates to FuelEU Maritime initiative, global demand for green methanol is expected to increase at 4 million tons per year in the next five years.
We’re leading the way in pioneering new green methanol products and technologies, including fueling the first ever green methanol powered container vessel, and developing Europe’s first duel-fuelled green methanol bunker barge.
Agriculture
We are committed to working towards global food security.
We work with our customers around the world to maximize yields, strengthen crops, prevent soil degradation, promote sustainable agricultural practices, and accelerate growth to meet the world’s rising food demands. We also work to ensure our products are used in a way that safeguards health, occupational and public safety and security, biodiversity, and the environment.
Road transport
As a global producer and distributor of methanol solutions, we play an essential role in reducing road emissions through lower carbon alternative fuels and emissions reduction additives such as diesel exhaust fluid (DEF).
When used as a fuel, green methanol provides a 60% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions versus petrol or diesel, which means it is an excellent hydrogen fuel to meet renewable fuel standards.
Diesel exhaust fluid, also known as AdBlue, is used in Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems to lower harmful vehicle exhaust emissions from diesel engines, with the added advantage of improving vehicle fuel economy by approximately 5% and using diesel fuel more efficiently.
Industry
Our products sit at the beginning of a variety of value chains, from textiles, to plastics, healthcare, cosmetics, electronics, construction, wood treatment, and the automotive industry.
As we decarbonize, we can also reduce our customers’ carbon footprint and those of their end-products.
Shipping
Driving forward the growth of green methanol and low-carbon ammonia as marine fuels

Driving forward a new era in energy
We’re uniquely placed to realize the energy transition by developing ammonia and methanol as the fuels and feedstocks of the future.
Building capacity
We’re scaling and building more low carbon production capacity across our strategic locations globally, and future-proofing the infrastructure necessary to distribute the fuels and feedstocks of the future.
We’re supplying low carbon products for agriculture, manufacturing and transport today, paving the way for intensive industries to change with us.
Product stewardship and practices
By decarbonizing our own operations and scaling low carbon technologies fast, we’re providing the solutions of the future for the markets of today, with cleaner, safer, and more effective nitrogen fertilizers, and low carbon methanol and ammonia fuels and feedstocks that reduce emissions across value chains all the way to the end consumer.
Scaling sustainable innovation and technologies
As an early mover OCI is leading the way, investing in and scaling multiple innovative technologies and pathways at speed to develop the next generation of low carbon products and solutions for our customers, and accelerate the clean energy transition.
Influencing change
We’re working with strategic partners, suppliers, governments, and customers to create the conditions needed for change.
Whether that’s ensuring regulatory systems are established that value and enable green investment, or driving forward an innovation ecosystem where industries are collaborating, we’re working together to power a cleaner future sooner.
