This report focuses on technology developments in the methanol industry sector. This includes process routes from syngas and coal as well as blue and low carbon routes to methanol. Technology descriptions, major licensor profiles, process economics, carbon intensity, and capacity analysis are included.

We normally think of three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gaseous; and three phases: crystalline, melt, and gas. Liquid crystals are sometimes referred to as a fourth state of matter, lying between a three-dimensional rigid crystalline structure and an isotropic liquid. This report covers thermotropic liquid crystal polymers (LCP), their chemistry, manufacturing process, production economics, and applications.

A detailed study of the current status and engineering challenges of process electrification in a net zero compliance environment. Covers electric unit operations as well as current and developing technology offerings from major licensors. Side-by-side comparison of manufacturing costs from techno-economic models of selected electrified and conventional processes, including carbon intensity impacts, with a focus on steam methane reforming and steam cracking.

Market Analytics: Ammonia - 2025 provides analysis and forecasts to 2050 of supply and demand of the global ammonia industry.  This analysis identifies the issues shaping the industry as well as provide demand, supply and net trade data for 40 countries/regions.  Ammonia demand is segmented by key end-use including ammonium nitrate fertilizers, ammonium phosphate fertilizers, direct application fertilizer, industrial, other nitrogen fertilizers, urea, marine fuels and power generation.  The report captures:   Consumption: Assesses historic and forecast consumption; forecasts are based on projections of end use and economic activity.  Supply: Includes a list of all producers, their production capacity, location, etc., and discussion of the status of new projects.  Supply, Demand and Trade: Provides historical analysis and forecasts to 2050 of consumption, production, imports/exports, inventory build-up/decline, capacity and capacity utilization.  NexantECA has also utilized its long standing knowledge in the energy and fuels sector to forecast the consumption of ammonia in emerging end uses including marine fuels and power generation.
