Recent News:
- Dow announced intentions in March 2024 to invest in ethylene derivatives capacity on the US Gulf Coast, including carbonate solvent production, a crucial component of the lithium-ion battery supply chain. This investment promotes growth in the domestic electric vehicle (EV) and energy storage markets, and it builds on Dow's strong track record of growth initiatives, including recent global alkoxylation capacity expansions in the United States Gulf Coast and Europe, which are expected to be operational within the next two years. This project will capture more than 90% of the CO2 produced during ethylene oxide manufacturing and use it to manufacture carbonate solvents needed for vehicle electrification and improve the US power system through energy storage.
- Lotte Chemical Co., Ltd., one of South Korea's largest chemical companies, will work with Sasol Ltd., a South African energy and chemical corporation, in June 2022 to assess the feasibility of constructing and operating a jointly owned plant to manufacture electrolyte solvents, which are critical components of electric vehicle lithium-ion batteries. The two companies will conduct a pre-feasibility study to assess whether Sasol's locations near Lake Charles, Louisiana, and Marl, Germany, are viable for a facility producing electrolyte solvents using feedstock from Sasol and third parties, as well as technologies from LOTTE and third-party licensees.
