Red, purple, pink hydrogen provides key tangible, feasible, and viable pathways towards definitive global and regional decarbonization of supply/value chains with zero greenhouse gas emissions. Also, as part of an optimal energy mix, this includes, but not limited to, being an effective energy carrier for fuels, feedstocks, and production of downstream chemicals. In addition, providing enhanced reliability, resilience, and availability of baseload and peaking supply of electricity and hydrogen for wholesale and retail end-customers. Commercially advanced technologies via small modular reactors and proven processes via electrolysis and thermolysis are paving the way forward.

This BI report investigates the technical, economic and commercial aspects of biolubricants production technology. Cost of production estimate models and carbon intensity analysis are provided across several regions.

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the tire industry's shift towards sustainability, focusing on reducing dependence on petroleum-based materials and expanding the use of recycled and bio-based alternatives. It highlights how the electric vehicle (EV) transition is driving growth for tire companies, particularly in the demand for EV-specific tires. The analysis covers a wide range of sustainable materials, including but not limited to bio-isoprene, bio-butadiene, and natural rubber, while addressing key environmental challenges such as tire pollution, waste management, and the sourcing of raw materials like natural and synthetic rubber, and carbon black. The report also presents an economic margin analysis, comparing sustainable tire configurations to conventional tire baselines. It delves into end-of-life tire management strategies, including pyrolysis, retreading, and mechanical recycling, with a detailed cost of production (COP) analysis for recovered carbon black from pyrolysis. Finally, the report profiles 16 leading tire manufacturers, offering an in-depth look at their financial performance, manufacturing practices, and sustainability strategies, showcasing their progress and innovations in driving a more sustainable future.

The use of liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC) is an alternative to transporting hydrogen without the need for pipeline infrastructure or hydrogen liquefaction. Instead, organic materials are hydrogenated at the hydrogen production source, transported to their destination, and dehydrogenated to release the hydrogen for use. The bulk transportation of organic liquids is commonplace, relatively low cost, and well established, thus simplifying the movement of hydrogen via LOHC. With the growing demand for green hydrogen to support decarbonization efforts worldwide, LOHC is emerging as a practical means of transporting hydrogen from production sites to consumption sites. This report provides an overview of LOHC technologies. The report also includes a technology readiness level (TRL) summary of LOHC options, carbon intensity analysis, and discussion related to the cost of transporting hydrogen for various LOHC types. Comparisons with other hydrogen transportation options such as liquefied hydrogen and ammonia are also presented.
