Newsletter: AI adoption reshapes chemicals industry

Share this article

In the December 2025 edition of the ADI Chemicals Newsletter, we explore how AI in energy and chemicals is moving from hype to reality. Successful adoption depends on practical, bottom-up implementation rather than top-down mandates. Companies like Aramco, Suncor, and Clariant are using AI to augment operations, not replace human expertise.

This edition also highlights key industry developments: new plant startups by Deepak Nitrite in India, Monument Chemical in the U.S., and BASF in Germany; notable mergers and acquisitions including Anupam Rasayan’s acquisition of Jayhawk Fine Chemicals and Alpek’s merger with Controladora Alpek; and finally, plant closures in Europe by Trinseo and INEOS Styrolution.
