World demand for ethylene and propylene growing (about 4%/yr)
More than 100 MMTA of additional capacity will be needed by 2025
Consumption being driven by growing middle class in developing regions

The world market continues to drive demand

for products derived from light olefins

from Light Olefins

Refinery Objective By Products

Ethylene
Diesel

Propylene

Refinery economics favor diesel production over gasoline in

many regions
Less severe catalytic cracking, more mild hydrocracking
produce less gasoline and less light byproducts

Shift towards heavier diesel reduces byproduct light olefins
