Koeln/Germany – The Province of Antwerp has recently granted an environmental permit to Ineos Olefins Belgium for Project One. This is an important step towards the construction and operation of the most environmentally sustainable cracker in Europe. In developing this production site in Antwerp, Ineos will comply with some of the strictest environmental regulations in the world, whilst contributing to the renewal of the chemical cluster in Flanders and setting a new environmental standard in Europe.

John McNally, CEO Ineos Project One stated: " The urgency of tackling the climate problem is now clear to everyone. With Project One, we do not want to stand on the sidelines as an industrial player, but want to make a fundamental difference as of today. By consistently opting for the best available techniques in our design, we are setting a new environmental standard within our industry. Our ethane cracker will have the lowest carbon footprint in Europe: three times lower than the average European steam cracker and less than half of that of the 10 % best performers in Europe."

Project One will be the largest investment in the European chemical sector in a generation. It will be a game changer bringing new opportunities to the chemical cluster in Antwerp. Through technological renewal the company aims to strengthen the resilience of the European chemical sector in a global economy.
