Significant Acquisition Enhancing Petrochemical Capacities in Southern Europe
In April 2024, INEOS Group Limited, a UK-based chemical manufacturer, acquired TotalEnergies' 50% stake in Naphtachimie, Gexaro, and Appryl for an undisclosed price. This strategic move aims to solidify INEOS's presence in Southern Europe by fully integrating critical assets that will improve production capabilities, operational efficiency, and supply chain infrastructure. TotalEnergies, headquartered in France, is a well-established energy company specializing in petrochemical products.

Innovations and Sustainability Trends Shaping the Future of Petrochemicals
Environmental concerns and regulatory pressures are driving major petrochemical companies to focus on decarbonizing their production processes. This means actively reducing carbon dioxide emissions linked to petrochemical manufacturing.
For example, in July 2024, US-based KBR, Inc. introduced KCOTKlean, a portfolio of low- and zero-carbon technologies designed to decarbonize catalytic olefin production. This innovative technology combines KBR's K-COT process with catalytic partial oxidation (CPOx) tech from the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM). KCOTKleanTM aims to cut carbon emissions by utilizing circular feedstocks, cleaner fuels, electrification, and advanced carbon capture techniques.
