Borouge, a leading petrochemical company in the UAE, is pushing forward with its ambitious Borouge 4 project despite the slowdown in China’s economy. The project, a significant part of Borouge’s expansion strategy, has recently surpassed the halfway mark, with completion expected by the end of 2025. This milestone marks a critical phase in what will become the world’s largest single-site polyolefin complex.
Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and Chairman of Borouge, highlighted the project’s progress during a site visit. The installation of the world’s largest Borstar gas phase reactors, each weighing over 500 tonnes, has been a significant achievement. The reactors will significantly boost Borouge’s production capacity, adding 1.4 million tonnes per year to reach a total of 6.4 million tonnes annually.
The Borouge 4 project, located in Al Ruwais Industrial City, is a joint venture between ADNOC and Borealis. This expansion aligns with the UAE’s industrial growth initiatives and the ‘Make it in the Emirates’ campaign, aiming to enhance local manufacturing capabilities. The project is also set to contribute significantly to the UAE’s decarbonization and energy efficiency goals, incorporating an ethane cracker designed to accommodate future carbon capture technologies.
Hazeem Sultan Al Suwaidi, CEO of Borouge, emphasized that the Borouge 4 project is crucial for both the company and the UAE’s industrial sector. The project supports substantial economic benefits, with over $600 million in purchase orders already placed with local companies. Additionally, the project is a significant driver of job creation, employing over 20,000 individuals on-site and projecting over 100 million manhours to completion.
Despite global economic challenges, including the slowdown in China, Borouge remains optimistic about its future prospects. The company’s strategic focus on innovative and differentiated polyolefin solutions positions it well to meet the increasing demand in key markets such as China and India. These markets account for a substantial portion of global petrochemical consumption and are projected to drive significant growth in the sector.
Borouge’s expansion is not just about increasing production capacity but also about enhancing its role in supplying essential materials for critical sectors like energy, infrastructure, and agriculture. The Borouge 4 project will enable the company to better serve these high-growth markets, contributing to major renewable energy projects and other infrastructure developments.
Overall, Borouge’s continued progress on the Borouge 4 project underscores its resilience and strategic vision in the face of global economic uncertainties. The company’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and local economic development positions it as a key player in the global petrochemical industry, driving growth and value for the UAE and its stakeholders.
This strategic initiative highlights Borouge’s role in advancing the UAE’s industrial capabilities and supporting national economic goals, even amid broader economic challenges.
