Steam crackers are petrochemical facilities used mainly to manufacture ethylene or propylene based on naphtha. In 2023, France's production of ethylene by steam crackers was at 1.8 million metric tons. In 2010, approximately 2.3 million metric tons of ethylene were produced through this process. This volume increased to exceed 2.6 million metric tons of ethylene produced in 2014.
