ADI chemicals newsletter: Analyzing PDH investments

Share this article

In the September 2019 edition of the ADI chemicals newsletter, we highlight key developments in the global chemical industry amid ongoing economic uncertainty. The Purchasing Manager’s Index (PMI) showed a decline in most regions, except for India and Brazil.

Major announcements included new propane dehydrogenation (PDH) projects in the Americas, expansions in Europe, and capacity growth in Asia-Pacific. Notable investments included Borealis’ $1.1 billion PDH plant in Belgium, while global companies like Teijin and Petronas Chemicals continued to expand their portfolios through acquisitions.
