Shell Considers Plan to Add Capacity For Stvrene and PO in Asia Pacific

摘要

Singapore-Shell Chemicals Executive Vice President Ben van Beurden said the company is considering, among other projects, plans for a new "world-scale" styrene and propylene oxide (PO) facility in Asia Pacific. Asia Pacific is the "most exciting" region for petrochemicals, he told delegates at the Asia Petrochemical Industries conference in Singapore last week. Driven by rapid economic growth in very populous countries-primarily China, but increasingly in India, too-petrochemicals demand is soaring, making the region the focus for new capacity investments.
