The Borouge 4 project, a joint venture between ADNOC and Borealis AG, will begin operations in 2025 and add 1.4 million tonnes of polyethene capacity, making it the world's largest single-site polyolefin complex. It will also catalyze the next phase of UAE industrial growth. With advanced technology, strategic partnerships, and a substantial investment, Borouge 4 is poised to significantly impact the global polyolefins market and contribute significantly to the UAE's industrial landscape.
