摘要

Dow Chemical Company announced comprehensive plans to increase ethylene and propylene production and to integrate its U.S. operations into feedstock opportunities available from increasing supplies of shale gas in the Marcellus and Eagle Ford shale regions. "The improved outlook for U.S. natural gas supply from shale brings the prospect of competitively priced ethane and propane feedstocks to Dow - and the promise of new manufacturing jobs to America," said Jim Fitterling, Dow executive vice president and president of Corporate Development & Hydrocarbons.
