can produce benzene, toluene and mixed xylene. Currently, CPC’s annual production capacities for basic petrochemical raw materials are 1.07 million metric tons of ethylene, 1.194 million tons of propylene, 158 thousand metric tons (KTA) of butadiene, 274 KTA of benzene, 321 KTA of toluene and 507 KTA of mixed xylene.
As a pioneer of the upstream petrochemical business in Taiwan, CPC has continued to invest in a variety of upstream petrochemical businesses to drive development of domestic petrochemical industry, which has in turn contributed to economic miracle of Taiwan. In recent years, it has been dedicated to equipment upgrade and capacity expansion in order to reduce the shortage of petrochemical raw materials supply. Starting in 2005, CPC implemented the project of “New No. 3 Naphtha Cracker” in Linyuan Petrochemical Complex, with total investment of over NT$40 billion. This new No. 3 Naphtha Cracker started to produce ethylene that meets specific standards in 2013 with ethylene capacity of 720 KTA, propylene capacity of 370 KTA and butadiene capacity of 100 KTA. It is a supplier of petrochemical raw materials to both downstream businesses in Linyuan Industrial Park, and businesses in Renda Industrial Park, whose supply was originally provided by the No.5 Naphtha Cracker, creating economic benefits that worth NTD 60 billion per year. In the future, CPC will continue to take the advantage of its new production processes, low energy consumption
and economies of scale for our crackers to ensure sufficient supply of basic petrochemical raw materials to downstream customers.
Refinery-petrochemicals integration Industrial transformation
In response to the growth of global electric vehicles market and support government’s energy transition policy, CPC has conducted integration of its refining and petrochemical businesses, and has reduced its production of gasoline and diesel and has produced more chemicals. In addition, CPC has reduced the severity of pollution from the plants and has decreased energy consumption of its operations and has strengthen safety at its facilities through supply of raw materials among different business units and the plan to create synergy of its resources and public facilities through high-degree integration.
CPC organizes and supports the circular economy to create a win-win situation
In the face of the challenges posed by climate change and depletion of natural resources, CPC actively follows the government’s “Circular Economy” Policy by turning petrochemical by-products used as fuel or previously regarded as industrial waste into value- added products. CPC aims to create a win-win situation
