Located in the Wanhua Penglai Industrial Park in Yantai, East China's Shandong Province, the propane dehydrogenation project covers an area of 103,500 square meters and is one of the major projects of the region in 2022. It is scheduled to start operation in June 2024.
Once officially operational, the project is expected to contribute to building the Penglai-Yantai Wanhua Industrial Park into a comprehensive green and environmentally-friendly low-carbon zone with world-leading technological level and additional value.
