Ethane is gaining favor as the feedstock for steam crackers in China, as its competitive prices make ethane-cracking the most profitable route for ethylene production compared to other options.
In this special edition of Hydrocarbon Processing's podcast series, recorded live at the AFPM annual meeting, host Mike Rhodes and Honeywell UOP's Keith Couch explore developments in the hydrogen and petrochemical sectors. They discuss the potential of Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHC) and the economic and technical benefits driving their adoption, particularly in Japan. The episode also touches on UOP's new Naphtha to Ethane and Propane (NEP) process, highlighting the strategic shift towards more efficient and sustainable petrochemical production, offering invaluable insights for industry professionals navigating the energy transition.
A new study finds that petrochemical plants like Shell's ethane cracker in Pennsylvania are getting billions in subsidies while breaking environmental laws. People who live near construction sites along the Mountain Valley Pipeline say regulators won't return their calls about water pollution from the project. Drexel researchers are gearing up to conduct ozone research in the atmosphere during the solar eclipse. And, as winters have warmed, the map that millions of gardeners rely on has been updated. We have news about Gov. Josh Shapiro's proposals for a cap-and-trade carbon program and new renewable energy standards, and how climate change is impacting honeybees.
Saudi Arabian petrochemical producers face a steep increase in production costs as the state-controlled price of ethane rises towards free market levels. - Saudi Arabia has increased ethane price from $1.50/MMBtu to $2.50/MMBtu- Pressure on producers as ethylene production costs rise from $75/tonne to $130/tonne- Middle East cannot continue to rely on China as a key chemical export market- As energy transition accelerates, chemicals will lose access to fossil-based feedstocks- High cost of electric vehicles is deterring mainstream buyers

On this West Virginia Morning, we take a look back at the state's coal industry, including forces that led to the nation's most violent labor uprising in history. In this encore excerpt from Us & Them, host Trey Kay talks with history professor Charles Keeney about the forces that hit the coal miners hard in the 1920s.
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) wird oft als eine weitreichende Umwälzung im Internet beschrieben, an der wir beide nicht ganz unbeteiligt waren. In dieser Episode von Neulich im Netz analysieren wir die technische Motivation und ökonomischen Triebkräfte bei der Entwicklung und Adoption von OpenFlow – der SDN-Kerntechnologie – und erläutern die grundlegenden Prinzipien, Vorteile und mögliche Probleme. Hat SDN, und OpenFlow insbesondere, die Versprechungen gehalten? Wir werden diese Technologien heute eingesetzt und wer sind die treibende Kräfte? Diese und weitere Fragen diskutieren wir in dieser Folge von Neulich im Netz. Mehr zu Neulich im Netz auf https://www.neulich-im.net/ music by scottholmesmusic.com Quellen: Martin Casado, Michael J.

An ethane cracker is a plastic factory that produces polyethylene from ethane gas. The Shell ethane cracker in Monaca, Pennsylvania, is set to come online in late 2022 after several construction delays. Plastic PSA host Alexis Goldsmith visited the Shell cracker in February, where she met with local scientists who are monitoring pollution from the plant. In this interview, she spoke with Dr. Clifford Lau, a chemist who is heading up a citizen air monitoring project. CC image by Drums600: A Pittsburgh towboat pushes a barge down the icy Ohio River.

On February 13th, 2020, Plastic PSA host Alexis Goldsmith visited plastic infrastructure sites in the Ohio River Valley. One of those sites was the PTT Global Chemical ethane cracker project, where she met Concerned Ohio River Residents organizer Jill Hunkler. An ethane cracker is a petrochemical complex that turns ethane gas from fracking into polythethylene plastic. The region is seeing more plastic infrastructure because of the boom in fracking. As Jill says, "fracking leads to cracking," and fracking has left residents with an environmental and health nightmare with none of the economic benefits. Concerned Ohio River Residents is a coalition of organizations and individuals that are want to see the regional economy move away from fracking and fossil fuels. They have been organizing to stop the ethane cracker as well as new fracking infrastructure. As one organizer put it, "Fracking isn't as bad as I thought it would be... it's worse than I could have ever imagined." Jill Hunkler, who was forced to leave the home she built because of polluted air from fracking, would like to see the PTT GC site used for hemp farming, solar arrays, and eco-education instead of plastics.

US NGLs have strengthened across the board early in 2021, with some of those gains tied to increases in West Texas Intermediate and others linked in robust demand from the petrochemical sector and other global markets. LPG editor MK Bower discusses what is driving pricing strength for propane and butane, how ethane is recovering from the demand destruction wrought during hurricane season, and why market participants are confounded by natural gasoline and its relative strength against crude.
As the world begins to move away from fossil fuels as a source of energy, Big Oil companies are investing heavily in hundreds of new petrochemical plants to ramp up plastic production. And growing plastic production will greatly increase greenhouse gas emissions.
Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) prices dropped aggressively during 2019, opening up opportunities & challenges for exports of propane, butane and ethane. We interviewed OPIS’ Bobbie Clark and IHS Markit’s Darryl Rogers for 2020 insights and a look ahead.

In this episode of Cell Cultured, Sid and Kyle discuss a recent finding about California wildfires in light of the recent surge in environmentalism and climate change discussion. They also talk about the health benefits and risks of coffee and caffeine and Pitt's efforts in making plastic production better for the environment.
Ethane, a byproduct of natural gas extraction, is used in ethylene production, the primary feedstock for plastic manufacturing. Steven Feit, an attorney in the Climate and Energy Program of the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) and coauthor on their “Fueling Plastics” investigative series, explains how the U.S. fracking boom is now targeting ethane as a separate commodity, leading to an expansion of infrastructure along the fossil fuel to plastics supply chain. He encourages a collaboration among organizations to include the entire plastic lifecycle when addressing health and environmental impacts.

This is the final part of the interview with Ethan recorded in the second largest city in the Czech Republic Brno. For this one I prepared idioms related to music. At the end there is another piece of music from Ethan.
This is the second part of the interview with Ethan I recorded in Brno. This time we focus on Ethan’s music and his DJ career. Ethan exclusively provided some pieces of his music for the podcast. I selected the one I liked the best and played it at the end of this episode. This is where you can listen to his music or even download for free: https://soundcloud.com/ethane.
This episode was recorded in Brno. It features an interview with my English friend Ethan (at the time of the recording slightly under the weather) who has come to live to the Czech Republic for a term as a part of his university programme. I ask him about his experiences living here, about the encounters with Czechs. Ethan explains what it is like to study Czech and tries to compare his university city Bristol to Brno. He also foreshadows what we will talk about in the second part of this interview - his music and gigs. Ethan happens to be a DJ - Ethane, which should well explain the name of this episode. While recording this edition, I was on an idiom spree which does not always happen, and because Ethan also naturally uses loads of fixed phrases himself, the result is that this episode is full of idiomatic language. Besides English, we also speak a bit Czech and also Russian but don't worry it is non-impeding to the whole interview. There is also a short introduction to this episode located at the beginning in which I try to once again elucidate the rules of the competition which I am launching to celebrate the 100th episode of the podcast.
