"Recovering economies to propel growth"
The credit and financial crisis in the last quarter of 2008 brings new challenges to the petrochemical and refinery industries. The impact is mainly manifested in demand reduction, price drop, unbalanced supply and demand, and great changes in import and export structure. This year was all about the exit from the great recession. As markets recover across the globe and optimism spreads, a wide range of views have formed about the strength and sustainability of the global recovery. Has economic crisis been decisively turned? How deep and long is the trough in the petrochemical cycle expected to be?
"The first half of next year seems to be healthy but after that, it is very hard to forecast," said Hun-Soo Lee, a company official from Yeochun Naphtha Cracking Centre (YNCC), South Korea's largest naphtha cracker operator."

"The start-up of three new crackers in Southeast Asia by 2010 could lessen the impact from the heavy turnaround schedule, industry sources said."
~ November 2009, ICIS.
Mega projects are starting to come on stream, others are being developed. What are the impacts to the Asian producers with the new capacity expected in the Middle East and how do they manage the feedstock security issues? What are the opportunities in the current economic climate?
Government initiatives and economic stimulus have helped the economy from worsening. If the expected economic recovery materializes, will demand return to pre-crisis levels? What will drive the demand for petrochemical products in coming years? At what point in the future demand and supply will even up?
"A Thai court halted the bulk of new projects at the world's eighth-biggest petrochemicals hub on Wednesday over environmental concerns, rattling investors in Thailand and posing a new challenge for the government."

Climate change is one of the most far-reaching environmental concerns the world faces today. Manufacturing industry accounts for more than 36% of global carbon dioxide emissions. CO2 emissions in chemical and petrochemical industry have risen. While questions about the causes and consequences still remain, it is generally accepted that actions have to be taken.
At this pivotal time for the industry, the CMT's 11th Asia Olefins/Polyolefins Markets brings together global and regional leaders to address all these issues, to share their experiences and to map out their visions for the future.

The 11th Asia Olefins & Polyolefins Markets conference is putting Vietnam’s rapidly growing Petrochemical industry in the spotlight. Vietnam has embarked on an ambitious program to build two world-scale petrochemicals complexes by 2013, with recent multi billion dollar investments from Qatar Petroleum and Siam Cement marking growing interest in investing in these projects.
Vietnam’s petrochemical industry is small and insufficient to serve local demand, but upcoming projects like PetroVietnam’s petrochemical complex in Dung Quat Economic Zone, the Nghi Son Refinery & Petrochemical complex, and the Long Son Petrochemical complex will mean Vietnam will soon become a major petrochemical producer.
PetroVietnam’s petrochemical complex in Dung Quat economic zone will produce 260,000tpa propylene feedstock & 150,000tpa PP. The entire complex is due to be operational by 2010.
The Nghi Son Refinery and Petrochemical complex with capacities of 150,000tpa of propylene, 150,000tpa of benzene, 480,000tpa of paraxylene and 150,000tpa of PP is one of the two projects expected to come on stream in 2013.
The second project is the Long Son Petrochemical complex with capacities of 1.1mn t.p.a of ethylene, 550,000tpa of propylene, 400,000tpa of VCM, 330,000tpa of PVC and 1.45mn t.p.a of polyolefins.
The 11th Asia Olefins & Polyolefins Markets conference has invited representatives of PetroVietnam Research and Development Center for Petroleum Processing (PVPro) and RKW LOTUS Ltd to discuss latest petrochemical developments in Vietnam, and address domestic PP and PE markets and developments.
