16 Ineos chairman warns that Europe's chemical industry could disappear within a decade

17 Energy, in the form of gas, in Europe is three times higher than in the Unites States today, whilst electricity is 5% higher. There are no cheap feedstocks in Europe. USA and Middle East feedstocks costs are in another league. Shale gas in the United States has transformed both its competitiveness and its confidence. There are $71 billion worth of announced petrochemical expansions on the back of shale gas flowing into chemicals. This is predicted to grow to over $1 billion. In contrast Europe announces closure after closure. In the Middle East, they continue to build in Abu Dhabi, in Qatar, in Saudi and now we can add Iran with another 6 million tons of ethylene capacity rejoining planet earth. In the UK we have seen 22 chemical plant closures since 29 and no new builds. And then we have China.... The Chinese are building relentlessly. Whilst in recent history, they have soaked up all the world s surplus chemicals, they will soon be self-sufficient. And beyond that they will start to reverse the flow. Remember they are set to become the world s largest economy by 22.
