Petrochemicals Outlook: Navigating the Energy Transition
Join Refinitiv and ICIS on 1st June to discuss the petrochemical market outlook and the impact of the global energy transition on this market.
Petrochemicals are used in countless consumer products and despite efforts to reduce and recycle, plastics continue to be a global problem. Though there has been significant advancement in thermochemical technologies to upcycle single-use plastics, such processes still face significant challenges due to its energy intensity and complexity.
Through the process of upcycling plastic, petrochemicals alike ethylene and aromatics are produced and can be used as feedstock to reproduce plastic. This will help to reduce the demand for fossil fuel-derived petrochemicals from conventional refineries.
Register now to join the online discussion.
