14 3.1 Oil & Gas Disconnect APS 09/

15 3.2 Gas vs. Liquid Cracking APS 09/

16 3.3 Changes : Ethylene ETHYLENE (KT) South East Asia West Europe Middle East North America North East Asia NOTE: world (million tons): 2010: : : 175 APS 09/

17 3.4 Changes : Crude C4 s Crude C4 as Butadiene (KT) South East Asia West Europe Middle East North America North East Asia NOTE: world (million tons): 2010: : : 16 APS 09/

18 3.5 Changes : Butadiene BUTADIENE (KT) South East Asia West Europe Middle East North America North East Asia NOTE: world (million tons): 2010: : : 14 APS 09/

19 3.6 Major changes Shale gas in the US will put cost competitive C2 and C2 derivatives on the global market US will become less dependent on C4 imports New capacities in the MDE will have heavier feedstocks creating strong potential for C4 Olefins and derivatives Europe under pressure from US and MDE. New BD capacities may face lack of Crude C4 s Asian countries growing and investing to become self-sufficient Alternative technologies (BDH, dimerization, bio) APS 09/

20 3.7 Alternative Production Processes BDH Butane-based BDH Butylene-based FCC/ Raffinate-2/ Ethylene to Butylene Bio Butadiene Less than 10% of global production, but may have high impact on pricing APS 09/

24 5. Conclusion Butadiene is and remains a cracker coproduct Volatility is due to limited liquidity and a lack of efficient logistics Small changes in S/D balances can cause huge effects on pricing The world Crude C4 s can supply 120% of the needed Butadiene Alternative technologies may set the future global price APS 09/
