Webinar - Bringing small modular nuclear reactors to the process industries

Nuclear energy is increasingly seen as an option for low-carbon energy to replace fossil fuels and enable power-to-X manufacturing.  Small modular reactors now offer the possibility of matching process industry needs with lower investment levels than traditional power plants while offering better reliability than current intermittent renewables.This webinar will discuss the current state of small modular nuclear deployment and help attendees understand the value proposition that it brings to the process industries.  The content of this webinar is sourced from the report Small Modular Nuclear Reactors for the Chemical Industry.To listen to the presentation, please contact your Account Manager for the password.

Small Modular Nuclear Reactors for the Chemical Industry - 2024

​​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.  ​

Sustainable Aviation Fuel: Soaring Over the Blendwall - 2023

This report assesses SAF production pathways in terms of their technical, economic, and carbon intensity aspects, in line with increasing pressure to decarbonize—along with a key focus on fuel blends that will allow surpassing the existing blendwalls (a potential barrier to net zero ambitions). Key technologies covered at the cost of production level include integration of key pathways for producing paraffins, isoparaffins, and aromatic blendstocks, and blending into a finished product that does not require blending with a fossil fuel. These routes include HVO, ETJ, MTJ, FT, MTA, ETA, as well as traditional refining units with renewable feeds such as isomerization, alkylation, FCC, etc.

Low Carbon Intensity Propylene - A Technoeconomic and Carbon Intensity Study - 2023

This report compares the various options for lowering carbon intensity of propylene production via technoeconomic, carbon intensity, and strategic analysis. Regional cost and carbon intensity baselines, comparative carbon intensities (including breakdown and analysis by Scope 1, 2, and 3 Emissions) 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.

Low Carbon Intensity Hydrogen - A Technoeconomic and Carbon Intensity Study - 2023

Traditionally hydrogen is generated from fossil feedstock and processes that emit significant amounts of CO2. Green and other colors of hydrogen hold significant potential and interest for decarbonization of sectors that have previously been difficult to decarbonize. This includes both existing applications (e.g., refining, feedstock for chemicals) as well as emerging applications (e.g., e-methanol, e-ammonia, e-SAF), as well as potential in direct use for carbon emission free combustion. Growing interest in low carbon intensity hydrogen has stemmed from mounting net zero pledges and decarbonization goals, and an increasing focus on the energy transition. Production options explored several global regions (US, China, Brazil, and Western Europe) and technologies covering thermochemical (biomass gasification), bio-methane reforming, carbon capture, electrolysis, and other advanced pathways from a technical, economic (cost of production model), and carbon intensity level—including breakeven values for emission reductions under carbon taxation scenarios.
