Pembina Pipeline says it has suspended work on a propane dehydrogenation and polypropylene plant in Alberta. A joint venture with Petrochemical Industries Company of Kuwait, the project was to cost $4.5 billion and produce about 550,000 metric tons of polypropylene per year. The company blames risks stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, which had already halted work on the project. Another propane dehydrogenation and polypropylene project in Alberta, spearheaded by Interpipeline, is expected to be completed by the end of 2021.
