This cracker is designed using the best available technology, including the use of hydrogen as a fuel, resulting in emissions at start-up which are one third of the emissions of the average European cracker and one fifth of the emissions of the most emitting cracker in Europe today. By using ethylene produced from Project ONE, INEOS will be able to reduce the overall carbon footprint of its existing downstream products by 2 Mt per year.
