This report provides a comprehensive review of commercial and emerging biomass gasification technologies and applications to power, fuels, and chemicals production.  Process descriptions are included, as well as regional economics of various feedstock types including North America, South America, Western Europe, and Asia.  

The purpose of this report is to analyze biofeedstocks as a source of renewables. Biofeedstocks can be converted into a number of chemical and polymer products through technologies such as fermentation, gasification, pyrolysis, catalysis, among others. This study assesses the technical, commercial, and economic aspects of producing biofeedstocks as well as providing supply estimates.

The technologies, economics, supply, and uses of ethyleneamines are discussed for both current and emerging technologies. Detailed technology descriptions and regional economics for the USGC, North-West Europe, and China are provided for the ethylene dichloride process, the monoethanolamine process, and a speculative amino nitrile process from recent BASF patents.

Analysis of the profitability of the U.S. refining and petrochemical industry for the third quarter of 2013.
