• Europe’s diversified cracker portfolio to benefit in times of global C3
shortages, as new US investments favour C2 production
• Europe to capitalize on robustness in C3 production chains
• Nimble infrastructure in Europe to aid arbitrage opportunities
• Strength of feedstock/downstream integration to aid efficiency
• Close proximity to customers to continue strengthening integration on a
larger scale
Opportunities: What Europe will capitalize on
