Chemical Conversations: Strengths and weaknesses of Europe’s ARG ethylene pipeline

Argus’ VP for Olefins and Derivatives Sara Raeis joined by Lead consultant for Ethylene and derivatives, Europe, Alan Williamson to present the first of a three-part Podcast series exploring the logistics of supplying ethylene to Europe and the export options from the US. In this first episode, our experts focus on the current landscape of the major West European ethylene pipelines, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of the European ARG ethylene pipeline system and its potential to import significant quantities of ethylene.   

This week, they discuss: 

• An overview of the major ethylene pipelines across Western Europe 

• How the ARG is currently structured including its strengths and potential weaknesses  

• The ability of the ARG to transport/distribute substantial amounts of imported ethylene from ARA to inland consumers.
