Market Scenario Planning: Carbon Pricing - 2023

Market Scenario Planning: Carbon Pricing report provides NexantECA’s scenario forecast for carbon pricing out to 2050 for the EU ETS.  Scenarios forecast pricing based on Business As Usual, Base and Aggressive Net Zero assumptions whereby underlying policy and decarbonisation efforts evolve in fundamentally different ways.  As well as the scenarios, background to policy efforts, detail on global legislation and the likely impact on the petrochemical industry are provided.This report is part of our new Market Scenario Planning program which looks at emerging products, market events and end-use industries where scenario forecasting provides more value due to the higher uncertainty associated with the subject.  Scenarios are defined and are informed by NexantECA’s expert knowledge of chemical, fuel and fertilizer markets.

Low Carbon Intensity Aromatics - A Technoeconomic and Carbon Intensity Study

This report compares the various options for lowering carbon intensity of aromatics production (benzene, toluene, mixed xylenes, and para-xylene) via technoeconomic, carbon intensity, and strategic analysis. Regional cost and carbon intensity baselines, comparative carbon intensities of decarbonization configurations, cost of productions, and impacts of carbon tax/credits on competitiveness (including break-even values) are analyzed across four regions: US, Brazil, China, and Western Europe. Additional regions/countries are available as an add-on.

Methane Pyrolysis for Turquoise Hydrogen (2022 Program)

This report offers a comprehensive techno-economic analysis of newly commercial and emerging methane pyrolysis technologies for the production of “turquoise” hydrogen, which can be produced from both fossil and renewable methane sources and produces a carbon byproduct that can be sequestered or displace existing fossil products. Technologies including thermal plasma, uncatalyzed pyrolysis, catalytic pyrolysis, molten metal/molten salt, and non-thermal plasma are covered, and key players within each major route have their technical maturity and processes profiled. Process economics are also provided for thermal plasma processes. The report also includes an analysis of turquoise hydrogen in the context of other low-carbon hydrogen routes.
