Taiwan spotlight: Driving energy transition in the petrochemicals sector

Taiwan’s petrochemicals industry was less adversely affected by the pandemic than many other producers in Asia. Despite that, there has been a wide variation across market segments as Covid-19 and global lockdowns caused severe demand disruption. Coupled with energy transition and an increasing regulatory focus on sustainability and the circular economy, what are the major trends for Taiwanese producers to note in the post-pandemic cycle?

Join S&P Global Platts, in partnership with PIAT (Petrochemical Industry Association of Taiwan), to gain vital insights into the unique challenges and opportunities facing Taiwan’s petrochemicals market. Taking place on June 7, from 2 to 3 pm Taipei time (GMT+8), this complimentary webinar will help you stay informed on critical market developments.
