Supply Chain
Petrochemicals Supply Chain
The petrochemicals supply chain converts oil and natural gas into the chemical building blocks — ethylene, propylene, butadiene, benzene — that become plastics, synthetic fibers, solvents, packaging, and fertilizer intermediates, governed by three root constraints: feedstock dependency that permanently couples the cost structure to energy markets, cracker economics where $5-10 billion steam crackers run continuously and cannot be switched between feedstocks once built, and derivative chain branching where a single cracker's output splits into thousands of end products through irreversible chemical pathways that the operator cannot redirect in response to demand.
Industrial Chemicals Supply Chain
The industrial chemicals supply chain converts raw feedstocks into the reactive, corrosive, and toxic intermediates that other industries consume — chlorine for water treatment, sulfuric acid for mining, solvents for pharmaceuticals, caustic soda for paper, hydrogen peroxide for textiles — governed by three root constraints: hazardous materials handling that requires specialized infrastructure and regulatory compliance at every stage of storage, transport, and processing; continuous process manufacturing where chemical plants run around the clock because thermal cycling damages equipment, shutdowns are planned years in advance, and unplanned shutdowns can take months to recover from; and the intermediates web, where most industrial chemicals are not end products but inputs to other processes, creating a network where disruption at one node cascades through seemingly unrelated industries.
Plastics Supply Chain
The plastics supply chain converts oil and gas derivatives into the polymer materials that become bottles, packaging, pipes, dashboards, medical tubing, and shopping bags, governed by three root constraints: petrochemical feedstock dependency that permanently couples plastic economics to energy markets, resin-to-product diversity explosion where a handful of base resins branch into millions of end products through compounding, molding, and extrusion with incompatible specifications, and recycling thermodynamics where most plastics degrade with each reprocessing cycle — unlike metals — creating a structural downcycling problem that limits circularity.
