Chemical & Petrochemical Consulting

Driving Innovation, Efficiency & Competitiveness with Chemical & Petrochemical Consulting

The global chemical and petrochemical industry is undergoing profound transformation. Feedstock dynamics, shifting demand patterns, sustainability pressures, supply chain disruptions, technological innovation, and regulatory tightening are reshaping the competitive landscape. Companies across the value chain — from basic chemicals to specialties, polymers, and advanced materials — must enhance efficiency, innovate rapidly, strengthen resilience, and align with global sustainability expectations.

EnergyStrat Consulting supports chemical and petrochemical organisations with strategic, operational, and sustainability-focused advisory. From market strategy to process optimisation, from digital enablement to circularity and decarbonisation, we help clients unlock value, strengthen competitiveness, and prepare for a dynamic future.

Why Chemical & Petrochemical Companies Need Consulting Support

The sector faces an unprecedented combination of commercial, operational, technological, and regulatory challenges, including:
•    Feedstock price volatility and supply vulnerabilities
•    Regulatory tightening on emissions, effluents, and product stewardship
•    Margin pressure from global overcapacity and competition
•    Rising expectations for ESG performance and circular materials
•    Capital-intensive assets requiring efficiency and reliability
•    Portfolio exposure to slow-growth or carbon-intensive segments
•    Uncertainty in regional demand trends and market-entry decisions
•    Need for digital transformation and advanced analytics adoption
Organisations operating without a strategic, data-driven, and forward-looking approach risk losing competitiveness, facing regulatory non-compliance, or missing out on emerging growth opportunities.
Our consulting helps companies anticipate industry shifts, improve operations, and build sustainable, market-aligned strategies.

Our Chemical & Petrochemical Consulting Services

1. Market & Growth Strategy

We identify high-growth opportunities across basic chemicals, petrochemicals, polymers, intermediates, and specialties. Services include market sizing, competitive intelligence, customer segmentation, pricing strategy, innovation trends, and long-term demand forecasting.

2. Portfolio Rationalisation & Product Strategy

We evaluate chemical and petrochemical portfolios across feedstock, integration, product margins, market outlook, and carbon exposure. Our advisory guides decisions on core products, growth segments, diversification, and potential divestments.

3. Process Optimisation & Operational Excellence

We help improve plant efficiency, throughput, energy use, and asset reliability. Our approach applies lean methodologies, advanced analytics, predictive maintenance, and process engineering insights to drive cost improvements and operational excellence.

4. Sustainability, Decarbonisation & Circular Economy Advisory

We design sustainability strategies aligned with regulatory expectations and global ESG frameworks. Services include emissions reduction plans, circularity models, waste minimisation, green chemistry adoption, lifecycle assessments, and carbon intensity reduction for crackers, polymer units, and specialty operations.

5. Petrochemical Site & Feedstock Optimisation

We evaluate petrochemical site integration, cracker operations, feedstock strategies (naphtha, ethane, propane, bio-based), and derivative chain economics. Advisory includes capacity planning, integration synergies, margin uplift, and competitive positioning across polymers and intermediates.

6. Supply Chain, Procurement & Logistics Advisory

We enhance supply chain resilience through supplier diversification, logistics optimisation, inventory reduction, procurement digitisation, and raw material cost benchmarking — critical for both chemical and petrochemical operations.

7. Advanced Materials & Technology Innovation

We support R&D and commercialisation of new materials, performance polymers, composites, bio-based alternatives, process intensification technologies, and next-generation product platforms.

8. Capital Projects, Capex Planning & Asset Transformation

We assist in planning, evaluating, and executing capital investments such as new plants, expansions, debottlenecking, and asset modernisation. Services include feasibility studies, ROI modelling, risk assessments, and project governance frameworks.

9. M&A, Due Diligence & Investment Advisory

We provide end-to-end support for acquisitions, divestments, and investment decisions across chemical and petrochemical assets — covering commercial attractiveness, operational performance, feedstock competitiveness, integration synergies, and sustainability risks.
