United States: Recent Petrochemicals Developments

✅ In July 2025, Shell's Pennsylvania Petrochemicals Complex (Monaca, PA) experienced an explosion in its #5 ethane furnace; by July, Shell's CEO announced plans to sell the underperforming facility.
This follows a troubled period for the site, which had failed to meet profitability targets and faced environmental penalties.

✅ In 2024-2026 (projected), ExxonMobil committed approximately $200 million to plastics recycling facilities in Baytown and Beaumont, Texas using pyrolysis technology to increase capacity to 230,000 metric tons per year by 2026.
This move strengthens ExxonMobil's circular economy strategy and reduces reliance on virgin petrochemical feedstocks.

✅ In early 2025, Abu Dhabi's ADNOC transferred its U.S. investments including stakes in an ExxonMobil hydrogen plant and NextDecade's LNG facility to its new international arm, XRG, valued at over $80 billion.
This structure aims to expand ADNOC's footprint in lower-carbon energy and chemical projects globally.

Japan: Recent Petrochemicals Developments

✅ In May 2025, Mitsui Chemicals announced it is studying the use of ethanol as a feedstock for its naphtha crackers to bolster competitiveness amid global oversupply and margin pressure.
The shift highlights Japan's efforts to integrate alternative feedstocks into its petrochemical chain.

✅ Also in May 2025, several Japanese petrochemical firms began exploring reconfiguring crackers to process more ethane, leveraging abundant U.S. supply and cost advantages.
This strategic move aims to offset margin pressures and strengthen long-term competitiveness.

✅ In April 2025, Sumitomo Chemical revealed plans to develop a biotech-based single-step process to derive propylene from ethanol.
The company intends to license the technology globally, with royalties tied to CO2 emissions reductions.
