AI Summary

medium article 2 min

Die ostdeutsche Chemieindustrie sieht sich trotz voller Produktion bei SKW Piesteritz mit Herausforderungen konfrontiert, da die Auslastung insgesamt nur bei etwa 72 Prozent liegt. Steigende Kosten durch den Europäischen Emissionshandel und die Schließung von Anlagen, wie bei Dow Chemical, gefährden die Substanz des Chemiestandorts. In Schkopau und Leuna gab es ebenfalls Probleme, wobei Domo Caproleuna in letzter Minute gerettet wurde. Der Erhalt der ostdeutschen Chemiestandorte ist wirtschaftlich bedeutend, da in Sachsen-Anhalt fast ein Viertel der Wirtschaftsleistung von der Chemie abhängt und die Branche in Ostdeutschland über 60.000 Menschen beschäftigt. Um die Transformation zu gewährleisten, sind Investitionen in die Zukunft notwendig.
