Plasticurrents: Dow Chemical to set up a US3-billion ethylene plant in China

摘要

Dow Chemical Co. the second-largest US chemical maker, will start construction of a US3-billion ethylene plant in Tianjuin, China, by 2008, almost a decade after the company first sought permission to build the facility. The Michigan-based company submitted an initial study to the Chinese Government in November 1999. The plant, with a capacity of 9,00,000 metric tonnes per annum, is likely to be included in China's next five-year plan, which starts in 2006, informed Chinese Government officials.
