Within Asia, China leads with the largest capacity additions: 1.46 mtpa from nine planned and announced projects. The main capacity addition will be from a planned project, the Exxon Mobil Corporation’s Huizhou butadiene plant, with a capacity of 0.27 mtpa. It is expected to commence production of butadiene in 2024.
The Middle East comes next with a capacity of 1.28 mtpa from three new-build planned projects. There is no expansion in the region. Aria Oil and Gas’s Assaluyeh butadiene plant, a planned project in Iran, leads with a capacity of 0.99 mtpa and is expected to come online in 2027.
