This report assesses the conversion technology of renewable methanol to gasoline in terms of their technical, economic, and carbon intensity aspects, aligning with efforts of transitioning to more sustainable fuel to achieve net zero emission by 2050. Key production pathways covered at the cost of production level include gasoline derived from three renewable methanol sources (ie. biomethanol, MSW-based methanol and e-methanol). This report also presents a comparative analysis of the overall carbon intensity, considering scope 1 and scope 2 emissions in these production pathways.

This report focuses on developments in the bio-butadiene industry sector. This includes routes from sugar, ethanol, BDO, CO, succinic acid, and butanol. Technology descriptions, key company profiles, cost of production model estimates, and capacity analysis is included as well as a discussion of impacts on the conventional industries.

​​A comprehensive Special Report on small modular nuclear reactors (nuclear SMRs) as a low carbon intensity source of energy for the chemical and fuel industries.  This report tackles the complex ownership, project management, regulatory and process challenges inherent in manufacturing applications of nuclear SMRs, covering seven newly commercializing developers in detail, with a focus on PWR, BWR, and HTGR technologies.  It features a critical approach to cost claims, analyzing recent poor cost performance of nuclear deployment and identifying sources of cost inflation and best practices, and provides levelized cost of energy estimates for each examined developer, as well as cash cost estimates for two hydrogen production processes optimized to use nuclear energy.  ​ 

DME (dimethyl ether) is a clean, colorless gas that has remarkable potential for use as automotive fuel, for power generation, and in industrial and domestic applications for heating and cooking.  Bolstered by government support and industry commitments to reach carbon neutrality, this movement has ignited a fresh wave of investments aimed at advancing the scale-up and deployment of sustainable, low carbon fuels – a category that includes Renewable DME.  Renewable DME can assume a crucial role in driving the global energy transition movement leveraging on existing infrastructure to deliver a low carbon fuel solution.This webinar will highligh the applications of renewable DME and its role in supporting the global net zero pathway.  The content of this webinar is sourced from the report Biorenewable Insights: Renewable DME.To listen to the presentation, please contact your Account Manager for the password.
