This report focuses on technology developments in the methanol industry sector. This includes process routes from syngas and coal as well as blue and low carbon routes to methanol. Technology descriptions, major licensor profiles, process economics, carbon intensity, and capacity analysis are included.

This report provides an overview of commercial and developmental routes for the production of bioethylene. Technologies that are discussed in the report include (but not limited to) bioethylene from bioethanol, bionaphtha and biomethanol. Recent developments by major players are presented, with process economics comparison and carbon intensity analysis for different production routes included as well.

​This report focuses on developments in the biomethanol industry sector. This includes routes from biogas, glycerin and MSW. 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.

The process technologies and production economics for low density polyethylene (LDPE), including LDPE/EVA swing processes are presented. Processes from major technology developers are reviewed. Cost of production estimates have been developed on a USGC, China, and Middle East basis for conventional and second generation resins. Carbon Intensity of each process type is also explored, with discussion of recent developments aiming to improve the sustainability of LDPE. Licensee information is presented for each technology along with global and regional capacity listings.​
