Ep 1452Episode 1452: Think Tank: Middle East chemicals will take 12-18 months to return to normal
Even if the current shaky ceasefire becomes permanent, the complexities of repairing and restarting chemical plants means global markets will have to wait 12-18 months for regional operations to return to normal. - Restarting chemical plants is complex and requires external technical experts who will be in short supply- Plant restarts require huge amounts of energy, which will overstretch power networks if multiple plants try to fire up- Logistics logjams will add further delays to restart plans- Personnel are no longer on site and will have to return- It will take 12-18 months for Middle East production to ramp up- Europe and Asia will be lucky to receive Middle East trade flows by the end of the year - Europe’s chemical industry could see a renaissance if industrial customers return to local sourcing- Europe is becoming cost-competitive again
