The current oversupply of ethane, a major component of natural gas liquids, due to the shale gas revolution has stimulated the shift to ethane from naphtha for ethylene production. Estimates put the product cost contribution of steam cracking at 60% and the manufacturing carbon footprint at two-thirds of the total. Ding et al.
