Oleochemicals (2024 Program)​

This techno-economic report offers a review of chemistry, properties, feedstock choices, business development considerations, technology, and development trends of oleochemicals, including fatty acid, glycerine, methyl ester and fatty alcohol. The report provides process economics for fatty acid, methyl ester and fatty alcohol for several different global locations (United States, Western Europe, Malaysia and China) under a consistent first quarter 2024 price scenario. Multiple feedstocks are evaluated, such as soybean oil, rapeseed oil, crude palm oil and tallow. The report also includes an analysis of carbon intensity for various processes.
