Dow Chemical Co., Freeport (LHC 7),Tex
Petrochemical in United States. Approximate location 28.99739, -95.40392.
PetrochemicalUnited StatesCO₂e estimate (modelled)
Dow Chemical Co., Freeport (LHC 7),Tex is a petrochemical plant in United States. Its listed capacity is 2,090,000 t of ethylene. Petrochemical plants crack hydrocarbons at very high temperatures to produce ethylene, propylene and other building-block chemicals — one of the most heat-intensive industrial processes. Climate TRACE records an estimated 2,653,261 tonnes CO₂e for 2024, using 100-year global warming potentials. The source assigns low confidence to this estimate. It is not a site measurement. The owner listed in the source dataset is The Dow Chemical Company. By capacity it ranks #4 among 26 petrochemical plants in United States.
