Analysis of the profitability of the petrochemical and polymers industry in Asia, Pacific, Western Europe and the United States for the first quarter of 2018.
Analysis and forecast to 2035 of supply and demand of the global olefins market including ethylene, propylene and butadiene. This analysis identifies the issues shaping the olefins industry as well as provide detailed demand breakdown by derivative, supply and net trade data for 40 countries.
This report provides an analysis of key developments in the ammonia and urea industry, including capacity updates, profitability, and pricing developments over the past quarter. The report includes monthly price and profitability analysis for ammonia and urea with a detailed discussion on the market forces (affecting price and profitability) over the fourth quarter in the United States, Western Europe, Middle East and China. The analysis now includes both mine-mouth plant economics and coastal plant economics for ammonia and urea in China. Outlook on firm global capacity developments from 2017 to 2021 is also provided. The ‘Key Trends and Challenges’ section provides an overview of the end uses of ammonium nitrates.
The purpose of this report is to analyze developments in first and next generation bioethanol technologies. Next generation bioethanol can be used as is or converted into a number of chemical and fuel products—with potential to improve the GHG footprint. The purpose of this study is to assess the technical, commercial, and economic aspects of producing first and next generation bioethanol technologies, and to investigate future capacities.
The purpose of this study is to analyze developments in polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) as a replacement for conventional petrochemical polymers. The report examines the technical, commercial, and economic aspects of producing PHAs, and their relative costs by region against conventional LDPE.
The purpose of this report is to analyze developments in cellulosic sugars technology. Cellulosic can be converted into a number of chemical and polymer products—with potential to improve the GHG footprint of the process. The purpose of this study is to assess the technical, commercial, and economic aspects of producing cellulosic sugars, and to investigate future capacities.
This report provides an analysis and forecast of supply and demand of the global refined products industry including LPG, naphtha, gasoline, kero/jet fuel, diesel/gas oil and residual fuel. Minor products such as lubricants, waxes, etc are excluded from this report.
This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the technology and economics of propylene oxide (PO) production. Economic models are developed for the chlorohydrin, cumene hydroperoxide, PO/SM, PO/MTBE and HPPO processes. Global and regional supply/demand/trade for PO is also presented.
The purpose of this report is to analyze technology developments that lead to the bio-based monomer production used in the manufacture of polyamides. Bio-renewable sources such as castor oil, palm kernel oil, starch, sugar, and tallow are currently being developed for the production of bio-monomers. The purpose of this study is to assess the technical, commercial, and economic aspects of producing several bio-monomers.
