• [Shanghai Petrochemical's 1.2 million ton ethylene plant starts construction]
• The 1.2 million tons/year ethylene plant of Shanghai Petrochemical officially started construction on October 25, 2026. As a major project in Shanghai, the total investment of the project is about 21.3 billion yuan, and it is expected to be completed by the end of October 2028. The new facility adopts Sinopec's independent intellectual property low-energy ethylene separation technology. After it is put into operation, the existing 700000 tons/year ethylene plant will be shut down, and the annual ethylene production capacity will jump to 1.2 million tons. It can provide nearly 3 million tons of high-end chemical raw materials for downstream and help promote Shanghai's new industrialization and north-south transformation. Editor/Cheng Liting
