在上周举行的年度股东大会上，陶氏化学宣布在美国墨西哥湾沿岸及其他地区进行一轮为期五年、价值 40 亿美元的投资。该公司将在今年晚些时候位于德克萨斯州弗里波特的乙烯裂解装置上增加两座熔炉。陶氏表示，新增设备将使裂解装置的产能扩大三分之一，达到每年 200 万吨，使其成为世界上最大的乙烯工厂。该公司还将在墨西哥湾沿岸建设一座60万吨聚乙烯工厂。现有工厂（主要位于北美）的改进项目将另外生产 35 万吨聚乙烯产能。陶氏还在欧洲建设一座45万吨聚烯烃工厂，以服务高压管道市场。这将是西欧自 2000 年代末以来第一座新的聚烯烃工厂。近年来，石化产品的资本支出有利于北美等成本较低的地区——原料
At its annual shareholders meeting last week, Dow Chemical announced a five-year, $4 billion round of investments on the U.S. Gulf Coast and beyond. The company will add two furnaces at an ethylene cracker set to open later this year in Freeport, Texas. The additional equipment will expand the cracker’s capacity by one-third to 2 million metric tons per year, making it the largest ethylene plant in the world, Dow says. The company will also build a 600,000-metric-ton polyethylene plant on the Gulf Coast. Improvement projects at existing plants, mostly in North America, will yield another 350,000 metric tons of polyethylene capacity.

In recent years, capital spending in petrochemicals has favored lower-cost regions such as North America—with feedstock
