One coast makes America's plastics. Its plants fail together.

No tool sees the cascade coming. PetroGrid models the whole network.

The problem

Five ways it breaks

1

Concentrated One coastline, one pipeline web, one weather system.

2

Coupled Every plant feeds the next. One trip ripples downstream.

3

Blind Each operator sees only their own fence line.

4

Late By the time a shortage shows up, the options are gone.

5

Dirty Panic shutdowns and restarts flare the most emissions.
