University and Vocational Education Centers have specific industrial degrees. There is a dense tissue of auxiliary services and sanitary centers. Weather is perfect for chemical industry.
Main productive areas are non-ferric metallurgy (copper, precious metals, etc.), electric production, LNG, diverse gas products (propane, butane, oxygen, hydrogen, etc.), oil refining, petrochemistry, hydrocarbon additivation, fertilizers, ammonia, salt, chlorine derivatives, acids and bases.
3100 people work in Huelva's chemical industry.
