The Tarragona region is located 100 km south of Barcelona, in the northeast of Spain. Tarragona is the most important chemical manufacturing cluster in Spain, and in terms of ethylene production the 3rd largest in Europe. The 44% of the total plastics products in Spain are produced in the Tarragona industrial polygon. Chemical cluster in Tarragona consists of the south and north poles, which are linked to the nearby port via road and pipeline.
The main raw material –crude oil and natural gas- are all imported. Natural gas is imported in the form of LNG and then processed in several gasification facilities along the coast around Barcelona and Cartagena. Natural gas is also provided via the Trans Pyrenean pipeline link Calahorra from Lacq in France, and from the Maghreb-Europe Gas pipeline from Argelia to Spain. Crude oil is provided by ship from various sources to several terminals. The Tarragona cluster is linked to the Spanish natural gas distribution network.
The economic success of the chemical area depends on the Port that ensures the import flow of raw materials and competitive feedstock for the chemical manufacturing process. The maritime traffic through the Port of Tarragona amounts to about 31,7 million tons per year and the petroleum products (crude petroleum, naphtha, fuel oil, propane, crude, condensates, diesel) represent around 52%, for a total of almost 16,5 million tons per year. The global production of the chemical companies in Tarragona amounts to 21 million tons per year, 25% of which is exported. There is a high integration between the companies in Tarragona as one third of the products is used inside the cluster as input to further manufacturing stages. |
