Emerson (EMR) will provide automation technologies, software and analytics from its Plantweb digital ecosystem for the Golden Triangle Polymers Project, a world-scale integrated polymers facility on the Texas Gulf Coast. The total installed cost of the project is expected to be $8.5 billion and is a joint venture between Chevron Phillips Chemical Company, a company owned by Chevron (CVX) and Phillips 66 (PSX), and an indirect subsidiary of QatarEnergy. Operations are expected to begin in 2026. "The Golden Triangle Polymers Project and the recently announced Ras Laffan Petrochemical Complex in Qatar are among the world’s largest ethane crackers, both leveraging Emerson’s digital automation technologies, software and expertise to promote safer, smarter and more sustainable operations," said Ron Martin, Emerson’s president, Americas. "We are proud to support Chevron Phillips Chemical’s and QatarEnergy’s track record of building world-class, optimized facilities."
