This report analyzes commercial and developing processes for the industrial production of ammonia, including a review of the main technology licensors. In-depth economics are presented for ammonia from natural gas and directly from hydrogen for world scale and large scale processes in the USGC, Western Europe and the Middle East.  Additionally, a comparison of the economics of ammonia production from coal and natural gas in China is provided.

This report analyzes the use of natural gas as transport fuel at present and in coming years with a focus on the U.S. market.  Natural Gas Vehicles (NGVs) and fuel stations are covered from both a technical and market point of view.  Technical aspects including current technologies, fuel switching , infrastructure and environment/safety with a focus on CNG fueling stations are studied, as well as the use of CNG in vehicles and LNG fuels in the bunkers market.

This report provides analysis of the technology and economics of acrylamide production, via both conventional metal catalyzed methods and the modern biotransformation route, including cost of production models.  Recent key developments in biocatalyst technology and process design for the biotransformation method are discussed, as well as technological progress on the potential for acrylamide production from renewable sources via 3-hydroxypropionic acid.  A thorough market review, including global capacity listings and regional supply/demand figures, is included alongside discussion of key end-use markets and key product  growth drivers.

This report provides an in-depth technology, economic, and market analysis of the acrylic acid and acrylate esters industry. Technologies modeled for economic benchmarking include acrylic acid via two-step propylene oxidation, acrylic acid via polypropiolactone from ethylene oxide, and overviews of developing bio-based routes. Cost of production models for the purification of crude acrylic acid to glacial acrylic acid, as well as the production of acrylate esters (esterification of acrylic acid) are also included.
