Market Analytics: Polyolefins - 2022 (December update) provides analysis and forecasts to 2045 of supply and demand of the global polyolefins markets, including low density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), high density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene.  This analysis identifies the issues shaping the industry, as well as providing detailed demand breakdown by end-use and supply, demand and net trade data for 40 countries.

Traditionally hydrogen is generated from fossil feedstock and processes that emit significant amounts of CO2. In comparison, renewable or green hydrogen production results in materially lower emissions. Green hydrogen holds significant potential and interest for decarbonization of sectors that have previously been difficult to decarbonize. This includes both existing applications (e.g., refining, feedstock for chemicals) as well as emerging applications (e.g., e-methanol, e-ammonia, e-SAF), as well as potential in direct use for carbon emission free combustion. Growing interest in low carbon intensity hydrogen has stemmed from mounting net zero pledges and decarbonization goals, and an increasing focus on the energy transition. Production options explored several global regions and technologies covering thermochemical (biomass gasification), bio-methane reforming, electrolysis, and other advanced pathways from a technical, economic (cost of production model), and capacity level. A discussion of implications for the conventional technologies is also included.

Market Analytics: Oxo Alcohols - 2022 provides detailed analysis of the global oxo alcohols industry including 2-ethylhexanol (2-EH), i-butanol, and n-butanol markets.  The report includes capacity listings, demand by end-use and supply/demand/trade balances with forecasts to 2045.  This analysis identifies the issues shaping the industry, with data for 40 countries.  

The process technologies and production economics for high density polyethylene (HDPE) are presented. Ziegler slurry, slurry loop, gas phase, and solution processes from all major technology holders are reviewed. Cost of production estimates have been developed on a USGC, China, and Middle East basis. Demand by end use, capacity, and supply/demand/trade data is provided on a global basis and for North America, Western Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of World.
