Report: Hanwha bids to acquire stake in Sasol's Louisiana project

摘要

Hanwha Solutions (Seoul, South Korea), formerly Hanwha Chemical, has submitted a bid to acquire a 50% stake in Sasol's $12.8-billion Lake Charles, Louisiana, petrochemical complex, according to several reports in the Korean press today. Sasol announced a few months ago that it was seeking partners for the almost-completed project as part of the company's asset-disposal plan to reduce debt. The stake would raise $1.7–3.4 billion, according to The Korea Herald.
