Travelers flying over North Dakota at night will soon see fewer lights from natural gas flares. Badlands NGL, LLC, announced plans to build a new $4-billion manufacturing facility in North Dakota that will convert ethane into polyethylene, a material used in many consumer and industrial products. It will be the largest private-sector investment in state history. The facility will use the state’s plentiful supply of ethane gas from the Williston Basin, significantly reducing the amount of natural gas flares into the atmosphere. The facility will employ more than 500 people, and will take at least three years to be fully operational.
