Higher commodity prices and an integrated model lifted clean CCS operating result 51%; net income reached RON 4.1bn and CAPEX hit a record RON 6.6bn.
Improved export margins and record lubricants profits drove quarter; battery unit loss narrowed despite lower sales, while ESS orders and LFP supply deals in North America strengthen outlook.
Pushes integrated regional bases, oil‑to‑chemicals/specialty conversions, smart factories and capacity rationalisation to secure feedstocks and high‑end materials for advanced manufacturing.
EU funds first commercial plant converting mixed plastic waste into renewable BTX aromatics; plant will process 20,000 t/yr, produce 10,000 t/yr and cut 72% GHG vs fossil route.
Honeywell UOP will provide process technologies, equipment, catalysts and technical support for Hengyi’s Pulau Muara Besar Phase II to expand crude-processing to about 20 million metric tons/year.
Sitra aromatics complex will produce ~1.2M t/yr paraxylene and 0.5M t/yr benzene using naphtha hydrotreating, CCR platforming and LDPX aromatics processes.
Convert plastic waste into about 10,000 t/y of renewable aromatic oil and downstream benzene, phthalic anhydride and aromatics for circular supply chains; first plant operational early 2028.
Single‑unit adsorbent solution commissioned to simplify pre‑treatment, prevent freeze‑out and increase feed‑gas flexibility; full rollout planned by end‑2027.
First commercial ICCP plant in Delfzijl will process 20,000 t/yr mixed plastic into ~10,000 t/y BTX aromatic oil and ~8,000 t/y by-products, cutting GHG 70–80%.
Net loss $120M; adjusted EBITDA $81M; free cash flow negative $125M; advancing DIP-backed debt restructuring and restarted Americas Styrenics sale.
