The minimum estimated commitment under these contracts, except as noted below, is as follows: As at December 31, 2019

In the above table, the Company has included natural gas commitments at the contractual volume and prices. b) Other commitments: The Company has future minimum payments relating primarily to vessel charters, terminal facilities, and other commitments that are not leases, as follows: As at December 31, 2019
2020 |  | 2021 |  | 2022 |  | 2023 |  | 2024 |  | Thereafter |

c) Purchased methanol: The Company has marketing rights for 100% of the production from its jointly owned plants (the Atlas plant in Trinidad in which it has a 63.1% interest and the plant in Egypt in which it has a 50% interest), which results in purchase commitments of an additional 1.2 million tonnes per year of methanol offtake supply when these plants operate at capacity. As at December 31, 2019, the Company also had commitments to purchase methanol from other suppliers for approximately 1.2 million tonnes for 2020 and 1.2 million tonnes in aggregate thereafter. The pricing under these purchase commitments is referenced to pricing at the time of purchase or sale, and accordingly, no amounts have been included in the table above.
