What is the significance of Sibur receiving its first ethane feedstock at the Amur Gas Chemical Complex?

Sibur has received its first ethane feedstock at the Amur Gas Chemical Complex (AGCC) from the nearby Amur Gas Processing Plant via commissioned interplant pipelines, marking the start of operational feedstock supply for the complex; this ethane will be used to produce basic polymers—primarily polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP)—and reflects alignment with global best practices by using ethane as the main raw material for ethylene production, enhancing the project’s competitiveness.

What are the planned production timelines and capacity for polyethylene and polypropylene at the AGCC?

According to Sibur, polyethylene (PE) production at the AGCC is scheduled to begin later this year, while polypropylene (PP) output is set to start early in 2027; the complex will have a total nameplate polymers capacity of 2.7 million metric tons per year at full capacity.
