Kalama Mfg And Marine Export

NW Innovation Works, LLC – Kalama (NWIW) and the Port of Kalama are planning to construct the Kalama Manufacturing and Marine Export Facility (KMMEF), which will consist of a methanol manufacturing facility and a new marine terminal on approximately 100 acres on the Columbia River at the Port’s North Port site.

The proposed methanol manufacturing plant will convert natural gas to methanol, which will be stored on site and transported via marine vessel to global markets, primarily in Asia. The methanol will be used for the production of olefins, which are the primary components in the production of consumer products, such as carpet, plastic goods, and cell phones. The proposed marine terminal will accommodate the oceangoing vessels that will transport methanol to destination ports. It will also be designed to accommodate general use by the Port as a lay berth where vessels could moor while waiting to use other Port berths.

In related actions, Northwest Pipeline LLC is proposing to construct and operate the Kalama Lateral Project (the proposed pipeline), a 3.1-mile natural gas pipeline to the proposed project, and Cowlitz County Public Utility District No. 1 is proposing to upgrade electrical service to provide power to the proposed project.
