Technology and Costs

Technoeconomics – Energy and Chemicals (TECH)

Formerly known as Process Evaluation/Research Planning (PERP),  our Technoeconomics – Energy and Chemicals (TECH) program has been globally recognized for over 40 years as the industry standard source of process evaluations of existing, new/emerging, and embryonic technologies of interest to the energy and chemical industries.

TECH’s comprehensive studies include detailed technology analyses, process economics, as well as commercial overviews and industry trends. Reports typically cover:

• Trends in chemical technology

• Strategic/business overviews

• Process Technology:

  • Chemistry

  • Process flow diagrams and descriptions of established/conventional, new/emerging, and embryonic processes

• Process economics –  comparative costs of production estimates for different technologies across various geographic regions

• Overview of product applications and markets for new as well as established products

• Regulatory and environmental issues where relevant
