Prospects for Ineos' Grangemouth Site Not Good If Scotland Bans Fracking

摘要

Edinburgh— Ineos believes its Grangemouth, Scotland, petrochemical site is "unlikely" to have a long-term future if Scotland maintains a moratorium on onshore hydraulic fracturing (fracking) for shale gas (PCN, 2 Feb 2015, p 4). Speaking at a Scotsman conference in Edinburgh, Gary Haywood, chief executive of Ineos Upstream, criticized the "scaremongering" over the health and environment impact of fracking and warned that the UK will need a shale revolution if the Grangemouth site is to survive.
