This report focuses on developments in the e-methanol industry sector. Several technologies are profiled in this report including Topsoe (ModuLite™) and Johnson Matthey (eMERALD™). Technology descriptions, key company profiles, cost of production model estimates, and capacity analysis are included as well as a discussion of impacts on the conventional industries.

​​This report discusses the process technologies for purified terephthalic acid (PTA), which is primarily used to produce polyethylene terephthalate (PET) via esterification with ethylene glycol followed by melt-phase polycondensation. PTA is commercially produced by the oxidation of para-xylene with air followed by purification and recovery/recycle of catalysts and solvents. Production economics for the United States, Middle East, and China under a consistent first quarter 2025 price scenario are also presented.​

This report provides an overview of commercial and developing technologies for acrylonitrile production and includes process economic comparisons and carbon intensity analysis for different production routes. Discussion of commercial end-use applications and a global capacity list by producer are also included.

This report discusses various crude oil-to-chemical (COTC) plant configurations that focus on high yields of light olefins, or aromatics, or the full range of petrochemical products while minimizing the production of traditional refinery fuels. Technologies for processing heavy crude fractions and residue streams are highlighted along with traditional petrochemical processing technologies. Process economics for various COTC configurations are provided, as are case studies to illustrate COTC configurations in operation or under consideration today.
