🏭 The Shaheen Project could become the defining test of South Korea's petrochemical restructuring efforts. As producers grapple with global oversupply, weak margins, and growing climate pressures, South Korea is encouraging a shift away from commodity chemicals toward higher-value products such as advanced materials and specialty chemicals. Yet the 9 trillion won ($6.7 billion) Shaheen Project is set to add 1.8 million tonnes of ethylene capacity and 1.32 million tonnes of polyethylene capacity from 2027 onward. If South Korea's restructuring efforts are to deliver real and lasting reductions, new projects cannot be treated separately from capacity reduction targets. SFOC's latest issue brief examines why the Shaheen Project should be included in South Korea's petrochemical production-capacity targets, and what is at stake for industrial competitiveness, emissions reduction, and the country's broader transition strategy. 👉 Swipe through to learn more. #Petrochemicals #IndustrialPolicy #SouthKorea #CircularEconomy #IndustrialDecarbonization #SFOC
