US shale gas plan to make Grangemouth profitable

Ineos has revealed a plan that will transform the economics of the loss-making site, making it profitable. Central to the plan is the construction of new shipping and storage facilities to handle imports of ethane, 75pc cheaper in America due to the shale gas revolution. Ineos has agreed a long-term supply deal, over 15 years, with Range Resources. Cheap ethane will allow Ineos to run its KG chemical cracker at full capacity of 700,000 tonnes a year, twice the rate currently possible due to the decline in gas feedstocks coming out of the North Sea.
