Part of OlefinsEC 200-815-3
Also known as ethene, olefiant gas, bicarburetted hydrogen, H2C=CH2, and C2H4.
chemXplore tracks 70 projects involving ethylene, of which 34 are active.
82 produce it and 2 use it as feedstock.
Of the active ones, 21 new construction, 11 expansion and 2 revamp / retrofit.
13 active projects carry no start-up date yet. The dates themselves, per project, are for subscribers.
Pushes integrated regional bases, oil‑to‑chemicals/specialty conversions, smart factories and capacity rationalisation to secure feedstocks and high‑end materials for advanced manufacturing.
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.
Includes license for a world‑scale mixed‑feed ethylene cracker and PDP/FEED for integrated units producing ethylene, propylene, HDPE/LLDPE and polypropylene.
Ten-year run of transatlantic ethane imports secured Grangemouth's feedstock for ethylene production; over 400 shipments, major infrastructure and fleet growth underpin resilience.
Exclusive Licensing Collaboration makes one partner the worldwide licensor of CTR® LDPE technology, formalising long-standing cooperation and leveraging decades of execution expertise.
New ammonia-fired burners enabled a world-class 85% heat-input co‑firing rate in a test naphtha cracking furnace while keeping NOx comparable to current furnaces.
Operational gains, cost control and market recovery drove stronger earnings; capex fell 18%, renewables expanded, and dividend remains paused until net debt is sustainably below US$3bn.
H1 revenue RMB1,436.6bn; net profit RMB25.6bn; interim dividend RMB0.105/share; oil & gas eq 263.47m bbl; ethylene 6.394m t; chemical exports up 70%.
Units move to stabilise refining volumes, raise new‑materials output and upgrade product mix while pushing structural adjustment under the 'one base, two wings, three chains, four new' pattern.
Consolidated turnover +25% to USD 3.5bn; EBITDA +65% to USD 128.1m and net profit USD 40.4m. Petromidia shifted output toward domestic market; H2 outlook cautious.
