However, they may well accelerate the rise of alternative and recycling-derived sulfur feedstocks, while prompting Gulf Cooperation Council producers to overcome reliance on the Strait of Hormuz, according to panelists speaking at a webinarFertilizers, Chemicals2026-07-14T16:39:44Zhttps://www.spglobal.com/energy/en/news-research/latest-news/chemicals/071326-h2-outlook-shipping-bottlenecks-uncertainty-to-impact-middle-east-chemical-tradePetrochemical supply flows from the Middle East over the second half of the year are contingent on shipping bottlenecks, many of which will depend on how the conflict between the US and Iran develops. But, market participants said, it's unlikely there will be swift return to prewar trade flow levels for most chemicals originating in the Middle East, as the economics of global trade have changed.Chemicals2026-07-13T20:52:47Zhttps://www.spglobal.com/energy/en/news-research/latest-news/agriculture/071326-indonesia-plans-east-java-kalimantan-methanol-plants-for-b50-pushIndonesia will build methanol plants in East Java and East Kalimantan to supply 2.5 million metric tons/year of methanol for its newly launched B50 biodiesel program, as the government seeks to avoid replacing diesel imports with methanol imports and to strengthen domestic supply chains for renewable fuels.
