LyondellBasell has major global operations in basic chemicals, plastics and fuel refining. Headquartered in Houston and Rotterdam, Netherlands, it posted revenue of $50.4 billion in 2022, up 9.3% on the previous year and nearly double its 2020 figure. However, annual profits fell 30.8% to $3.9 billion in 2022, largely due to high and volatile prices for feedstock and energy.

Like other global players, it has been impacted by economic volatility and the slow recovery in China.   </li>

LyondellBasell has twice tried and failed to sell the plant, which analysts estimate needs up to $1 billion in upgrades.</li>
