How to calculate the methanol to bitumen ratio
Methanol to Bitumen ratio = Methanol price per Metric Ton ÷ Bitumen price per Metric Ton
The two legs use different units, so the result is a rate — Metric Tons of bitumen per Metric Ton of methanol — rather than a plain count.
Worked example, live prices: $2,861.00 ÷ $4,544.00 = 0.6296. The inverse is 1.588.
