This report is a technoeconomic and carbon intensity comparison analysis of biomethanol (via feedstock switching to biogas, gasification, and power-to-methanol) and potential downstream base chemical products (acetic acid, ethanol, ethylene, propylene, BTX, and gasoline) which form the backbone of the modern chemical industry in turn can be used to produce most conventional petrochemicals, and therefore “green” these value chains. Carbon intensity reductions are valorized in case study scenarios of carbon emissions prices, and break even carbon values are estimated on a regional basis.

Market Analytics: Caprolactam - 2021 provides an analysis of the global caprolactam with forecasts to 2045.  This analysis will identify the issues shaping the industry as well as provide demand, supply and net trade data for 40 countries.

This report analyzes developments in municipal solid waste (MSW) technologies. Waste conversion technologies such as gasification, pyrolysis, mass burn incineration, anaerobic digestion, or aerobic composting are analyzed as alternatives to landfilling. The report provides economics of various disposal configurations in the US, China, Brazil, and Western Europe under a consistent 2021 price scenario. Regional industry analyses of waste generation and composition in the US, Europe, and Asia Pacific regions are also offered.
