Why Europe needs local production of Chlorine
01 Apr 2026
Europe’s Chlor-Alkali industry has been facing unprecedented pressure. High electricity prices, regulatory burden, unbalanced trade agreements, and global overcapacity have led to plant closures across the continent.
To highlight the vital role of local Chlorine production, Euro Chlor has published a comprehensive Toolkit that includes:
- A general overview of Why Europe needs local production of Chlorine
- A technical Information Sheet on the Challenges with Chlorine Storage and Transport
- Information sheets covering the three key applications of the use of Chlorine in:
- Public Health
- Energy Transition
- Feeding Europe
