ExxonMobil has no plans to wind down its operations at Mossmorran in what campaigners have described as a “bombshell” for communities.
But FEP’s plant manager Martin Burrell said there was growing demand for products made from petrochemicals.
And he said the plant near Cowdenbeath, which was opened in the mid 1980s, could still run for decades.
“Many of our facilities in Europe and elsewhere have been in operation for 50, 60, 70 years, and it may be a surprise to know that the Fife Ethylene Plant is actually one of the youngest plants that we have in Europe,” said Mr Burrell.
