This report provides a deep technical review of the commercial and developing acrylonitrile technologies.  The economics of the propylene, propane and glycerol ammoxidation processes have been estimated for acrylonitrile plants located in the United States, Western Europe, South-East Asia and China, where capacity is increasing rapidly.  As about a million tons of new capacity is expected to come on stream between 2014 and 2019, a high-level analysis of the business and strategic considerations as well as the technology availability from the perspective of a company entering or expanding into the acrylonitrile market has been included in this report. This analysis is underpinned by a review of end-use sector consumption as well as regional market dynamics.

The purpose of this report is to analyze developments in bio-based isobutanol technology. Isobutanol derived from bio-based sources can be converted into a number of chemical products or used as a fuel additive - with potential to improve the GHG footprint.  The purpose of this study is to assess the technical, commercial, and economic aspects of producing isobutanol via bio-based sources, and to investigate future capacities.     

The purpose of this report is to analyze developments in bio-based naphtha technologies. Naphtha derived from bio-based sources can be converted into a number of polymer and chemical 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 naphtha via bio-based sources, and to investigate future capacities.

Analysis and forecast of supply and demand of the global polyolefins market, including high density polyethylene (HDPE), low density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) and polypropylene.
