INEOS announced in a press statement that it has launched a feasibility study as it plans to build a new world-scale EthylideneNorbornene production unit. This would represent a second ENB asset for INEOS joining the existing production unit in Antwerp Belgium, itself the subject of a recently announced capacity expansion due to be complete by late 2019.
A number of locations in the Middle East and Asia-Pacific regions are being considered for the new unit, as well as the option of adding a second line in Antwerp, and the aim is to have the second ENB unit on stream by 2023.
INEOS is also reviewing investment options to secure additional supply of Dicyclopentadiene to feed the new ENB unit.
