Short take: Specialty petrochemicals are moving from the sidelines to center stage. Companies now win on chemistry that solves precise problems — in electronics, pharmaceuticals, aerospace, advanced construction, and clean manufacturing — rather than on sheer production volume. Egypt can play in this space by tying gas feedstocks, midstream assets,...

Policy shapes how petrochemical plants use energy, cut emissions, and plan investments. In Egypt, policy signals on gas supply, renewables, and hydrogen matter for site selection, technology choices, and export plans. This guide links the Petrochemical Industry with National Energy Policies in plain language and shows where plants can act...

Chemical Recycling takes hard‑to‑recycle plastics and turns them back into chemical building blocks that manufacturers can use again. Compared with mechanical recycling, it handles mixed and contaminated streams and produces outputs pure enough for high‑grade applications when done well. This matters for Egypt as cities expand, packaging use grows, and...

Africa’s petrochemical sector is entering a new phase of growth, with regional collaboration emerging as the key to unlocking its full potential. From shared infrastructure to harmonized regulations, partnerships across borders are reshaping how the industry scales, competes, and integrates into global markets. Let’s explore the opportunities, challenges, and strategies...

Across the petrochemical sector, the rules of investment are changing. Green financing is now the defining factor in project success, with investors and regulators prioritizing initiatives that deliver measurable reductions in emissions, energy use, and environmental impact. This shift is reshaping how projects are planned, funded, and scaled, placing sustainability...

The way petrochemical products are packaged is changing faster than ever. Rising demand, environmental pressures, and tighter regulations are pushing companies to rethink every layer, from materials to design. Across the industry, innovators are exploring smarter, more sustainable solutions, with companies like Anchorage Investment serving as examples of how strategic...
