This report presents the methodology and assumptions used to generate the archetype cost of production models, supporting the analysis included in the QBA reports, which are published at the end of each quarter through the year.  Over 600 models are available to download from the NexantECA client portal.   This report is specifically geared to provision of technological and cost data, defining the configuration of all archetype plant cost models.  Although archetype plants are not modelled directly on any specific production asset, the capacity and process consumption factors of plant models are reviewed, to ensure they reflect the spread demonstrated by actual operating units.  The cost of production models presented in this report display the current plant capacity, yield patterns, and utility consumption factors for the models used in the 2024 QBA Program.  

Market Analytics: Acetic Acid and VAM - 2024 provides analysis and forecasts to 2050 of supply and demand of the acetic acid and VAM markets.  This analysis identifies the issues shaping the industry as well as provide demand, supply and net trade data for 40 countries.The Executive Summary is available to subscribers as a separate document.

Market Analytics: Formaldehyde - 2024 provides analysis and forecasts to 2050 of supply and demand of the formaldehyde markets.  This analysis identifies the issues shaping the industry as well as provide demand, supply and net trade data for 40 countries.The Executive Summary is available to subscribers as a separate document.

Market Analytics: Ammonia - 2024 provides analysis and forecasts to 2050 of supply and demand of the global ammonia industry.  This analysis identifies the issues shaping the industry as well as provide demand, supply and net trade data for 40 countries/regions. Ammonia demand is segmented by key end-use including ammonium nitrate fertilizers, ammonium phosphate fertilizers, direct application fertilizer, industrial, other nitrogen fertilizers, urea, marine fuels and power generation. The report captures: Consumption: Assesses historic and forecast consumption; forecasts are based on projections of end use and economic activity. Supply: Includes a list of all producers, their production capacity, location, etc., and discussion of the status of new projects. Supply, Demand and Trade: Provides historical analysis and forecasts to 2050 of consumption, production, imports/exports, inventory build-up/decline, capacity and capacity utilization. NexantECA has also utilized its long standing knowledge in the energy and fuels sector to forecast the consumption of ammonia in emerging end uses including marine fuels and power generation.
