Decarbonisation options for large volume organic chemicals production, Dow Chemical Terneuzen
report
This report describes the current situation for the large volume organic chemicals (LVOC)
production at DOW Chemical’s industrial complex, in Terneuzen, The Netherlands. The report also
explores the options and conditions for its decarbonisation. Most production facilities are owned
by DOW; some are owned by Trinseo and Olin, and are also included in the report. The most
important facilities in terms of energy use and emissions are three steam crackers which are owned
by DOW. The total high value chemicals (HVC) production capacity in 2018 was around 3.8 million
tonnes (Mt), the largest being ethylene (1.8 Mt). These chemicals are mostly further processed at
the site to produce polymers, with a total of 4.3 Mt of production capacity.
