Ineos to build €2.7-billion cracker, PDH plant in northern Europe

摘要

Ineos has approved a €2.7-billion ($3.2 billion) project to build a world-scale ethane cracker and previously announced propane dehydrogenation (PDH) unit at a single site in northern Europe. Each unit will benefit from US shale gas economics, the company says. Ineos confirmed in late June that it was mulling the construction of a 1-million metric tons/year cracker in northern Europe. The company announced plans last year to increase the capacity of its Grangemouth, United Kingdom, and Rafnes, Norway, crackers.
