Regulatory News:
Bayport Polymers LLC (“Baystar”), a 50/50 joint venture (JV)
between TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) and
Borealis, today announces the start-up of commercial operations of
a new ethane cracker with an annual production capacity of one
million tons of ethylene.
This almost $2 billion project built on the site of and operated
by the TotalEnergies Refinery in Port Arthur, Texas, represents 14
million hours worked with more than 2,500 workers at peak
construction.
The ethylene produced by the cracker will be used as feedstock
to supply Baystar's existing polyethylene (PE) units, as well as a
new Borstar® technology polyethylene unit currently under
construction in Bayport, Texas.
“After significant investments in U.S. LNG and renewable
electricity in 2022, the start-up of this new cracker is another
milestone strengthening TotalEnergies’ presence in the United
States. This investment is in perfect alignment with our strategy
to develop petrochemicals at our integrated platforms. At Port
Arthur we take advantage of the abundance of ethane in the U.S.,”
said Bernard Pinatel, President, Refining & Chemicals,
TotalEnergies.
The Baystar JV is the translation of the growth ambitions of
TotalEnergies and Borealis in the United States. It includes:
- The Baystar site in Bayport, Texas with a 400,000
ton-per-year PE capacity.
- The one million ton-per-year ethane cracker at the
TotalEnergies Port Arthur Refinery, which now has successfully
started operations.
- The under-construction 625,000 metric ton-per-year PE unit
in Bayport, using the Borealis proprietary Borstar® technology
to deliver a broad range of products to help meet the growing
global demand for plastic products.
