Feedstock, Olefins & Energy
Borealis can supply a broad range of innovative and high-quality base chemicals
Borealis sources basic feedstocks such as naphtha, butane, propane and ethane from the oil and gas industry and converts these into ethylene and propylene through its olefin units. Steam crackers in Finland, Sweden, and Abu Dhabi, the latter operated by Borouge, produce both ethylene and propylene, while propylene is also produced in a propane dehydrogenation plant in Kallo, Belgium. Feedstock and olefins required for Borealis and Borouge plants are either sourced from its owners or purchased from the markets. A range of co-products from the steam cracking process, including pygas and butadiene are also sold to international markets.
Partnering with the oil and gas industry, Borealis is a major feedstock buyer and can supply a broad range of innovative and high-quality base chemicals:
- Olefin monomers such as ethylene and propylene
- Other hydrocarbon building blocks like butadiene, butylenes and benzene
