The project aims to make the study pre-feasibility far implementation a petrochemical plant of methanol from dry methane gas of Ca­ rrasco, far which a descriptive research was conducted based on qualitative and quantitative data. The market study identified that the main market far the commercialization of methanol produced in Bolivia, will be mainly directed towards the countries of South America to offset the deficit METHANEX delivery; dueto unmet demand growth far methanol and its de­ rivatives in the chemical industry. Likewise engineering project identified that the productive capacity of the plant will reach 450,000 tons / year growth paths.The tech­ nology to be used in the process will be Lurgi Mega Metano!, it was also determined that the transportation of methanol is made through tankers and pipeline networks in the country.
