Sasol gives go-ahead for $8.1bn U.S. ethane cracker
Sasol has taken the final investment decision on an $8.1 billion ethane cracker it plans to build in Louisiana, the company said on Monday.
A cracker converts ethane taken from natural gas into ethylene, the basic building block for the manufacture of plastics and chemicals.
The ethane cracker will eventually produce 1.5 million tons of ethylene annually.
