Taiwan may scrap plan for petrochemical complex
Taiwan may scrap a contentious plan to build a major petrochemical complex on reclaimed land on its western coast amid claims it could cause the extinction of an endangered species of dolphin, officials said.
Despite termination of Kuokuang petrochemical project, a number of downstream petrochemical firms in southern Taiwan are still actively planning to expand their capacities, with investment capital totaling NT$30 billion.
