Dow plans to take FID on cracker by Q4
Dow partners with Linde for low-carbon ethylene cracker
Industrial gases firm will supply low-carbon hydrogen to planned complex at Fort Saskatchewan in Alberta, Canada
Chemicals giant Dow has partnered with industrial gases firm Linde for supply of hydrogen and nitrogen to its planned low-carbon ethylene cracker and derivatives site at Fort Saskatchewan in Alberta, Canada. Dow plans to use cracker offgas as feedstock for blue hydrogen production, with CO₂ captured onsite for transportation and storage by third-party storage providers. The company expects the project will decarbonise 20pc of its global ethylene capacity while growing polyethylene supply by 15pc. The proposed ethylene cracker will add 1.8mn t/yr of cracking capacity by 2030, which along with derivatives capacity and site retrofits will enable it to produce 3.2mn t/yr of low-carbon polyethyle
