The net-zero emissions ethylene cracker and derivatives complex is expected to decarbonise about 20% of Dow’s global ethylene capacity while increasing its polyethene supply by around 15%.

Furthermore, the complex is anticipated to support approximately $1bn of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) growth across Dow’s value chain by the end of this decade.

The expanded project scope to be awarded this year comprises EPCM services for the ethane cracker and related utilities, electricity, and infrastructure and integrated project management team services for the full Fort Saskatchewan Path2Zero initiative.
