Petchem Plant: US Capitalizing Shale Gas - Mitsubishi Building a US Resin Plant

US is capitalizing and promoting the use of shale gas in its petrochemical downstream production. Mitsubishi is reportedly in planning to set up a resin processing plant in the US that takes the feedstock from a "cheap" shale gas. 

The plant is said to obtain the feedstock from Dow Chemical which is building a cracker to produce ethylene from the US shale gas. The new plant will be commissioned in 2017 producing 250 ktpa of acrylic resin.
