This report investigates the technical, economic, carbon intensity and commercial aspects of low CI polypropylene value chains and technologies. Cost of production estimates, carbon intensity analysis, and strategic insights are provided across several regions.

This report focuses on developments in the e-methanol industry sector. Several technologies are profiled in this report including Topsoe (ModuLite™) and Johnson Matthey (eMERALD™). Technology descriptions, key company profiles, cost of production model estimates, and capacity analysis are included as well as a discussion of impacts on the conventional industries.

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.

​​This report discusses the process technologies for purified terephthalic acid (PTA), which is primarily used to produce polyethylene terephthalate (PET) via esterification with ethylene glycol followed by melt-phase polycondensation. PTA is commercially produced by the oxidation of para-xylene with air followed by purification and recovery/recycle of catalysts and solvents. Production economics for the United States, Middle East, and China under a consistent first quarter 2025 price scenario are also presented.​
