Also known as propene, methylethylene, プロピレン, and propeno.
chemXplore tracks 33 projects involving propylene, of which 12 are active.
35 produce it and 4 use it as feedstock.
Of the active ones, 9 new construction, 2 expansion and 1 revamp / retrofit.
3 active projects carry no start-up date yet. The dates themselves, per project, are for subscribers.
100 t/yr mobile demo at Mizushima converts steel by‑product gas and CO2 with H2; METI‑funded and certified by Kurashiki City; product quality matches commercial methanol.
Pushes integrated regional bases, oil‑to‑chemicals/specialty conversions, smart factories and capacity rationalisation to secure feedstocks and high‑end materials for advanced manufacturing.
Independent audit confirmed the fiscal‑2025 product carbon footprint for acrylonitrile at the Ulsan plant, covering raw materials through production and exceeding limited‑assurance standards.
Scheduled shutdown from Oct 5 to the second half of November to modernize units, improve safety and energy efficiency; peak workforce about 6,000.
Includes license for a world‑scale mixed‑feed ethylene cracker and PDP/FEED for integrated units producing ethylene, propylene, HDPE/LLDPE and polypropylene.
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.
CATOFIN catalyst and HGM ordered for a 1.2 Mtpa licensed PDH unit in Zhejiang to produce propylene for petrochemical derivatives.
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.
Strong cash flow and low leverage; all segments profitable. Chemicals lifted by Borouge International closing and higher olefin/polyolefin prices.
