Feedstocks and olefins
As an integrated polyolefins company, Borealis ensures a secure, cost-efficient supply of hydrocarbon feedstocks for our crackers, and olefins for our PE and PP plants.
Borealis purchases basic feedstocks from the oil and gas industries and converts these into ethylene and propylene through its olefin units. These feedstocks include:
Naphtha
Butane
Propane
Ethane
Our steam crackers in Finland, Sweden, and Abu Dhabi (joint venture with ADNOC) produce both ethylene and propylene, while propylene is also produced in a propane dehydrogenation plant in Belgium. The balance of our olefin needs is sourced primarily from one of our owners, OMV. We also sell a variety of co-products from the cracking process.
