The olefin industry forms the foundation of the global petrochemical industry; using olefins as raw materials, the petrochemical industry produces a wide range of products. In particular, the three olefins represented by \"ethylene, propylene, and butadiene\" are the cornerstone of the petrochemical industry. The history of the world’s ethylene industry spans nearly a hundred years. To date, about 98% of ethylene production worldwide uses the petroleum-based ethylene process, while 2% of ethylene production capacity relies on non-petroleum-based ethylene technologies. Below, everyone can share their views on the classification of ethylene process technologies as you know them.

In 2019, China’s ethylene production capacity was 28.89 million tons per year, with a self-sufficiency rate of 56%. It is estimated that by 2025, this capacity will reach 42 million tons per year, giving a self-sufficiency rate of 66.7%. The development of China’s ethylene industry entails a great demand for advanced ethylene production technologies.
