In 2005 it produced about 10.2 million tonnes (hereafter meaning “metric tonnes”) of chlorine and nearly 11.5 million tonnes of caustic soda in Europe, with a market value of some 7 billion (i.e., thousand million) euro. More impressive still, industry literature claims that European chlorine and caustic soda production “underpin” over 300 billion euro of the European chemical industry turnover. Meanwhile, in the European Union (EU) chloralkali industry prospects and profits appear to be as attractive as at any time during the last 20 years." |
