Its relevant supply chain begins with refinery and natural-gas-producer byproducts and extends to end users such as aluminum producers, cement manufacturers, steel mills and power-generation facilities. Long-term supply relationships can matter at both the sourcing and customer ends of this model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pb-lead\"\u003eThat flow-based industrial model raises practical questions about portfolio priorities, logistics costs, supply reliability, buyer concentration and environmental change.
