EXAMINING THE EXPANSION POTENTIAL OF THE PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRY IN CANADA

The Petrochemical industry in Canada is dominated by the production of ethylene from ethane and then downstream derivatives produced from ethylene. These derivatives are precursors to a wide range of useful consumer and industrial products. The sector has seen some investment in the recent past but much less than other regions globally including the US and the Middle East.
