Biorenewable Insights: ​​RD via HEFA​ (2026 Program)

This report is a techno-economic overview of the major licensable technologies available for the production of renewable diesel, renewable naphtha and renewable LPG via the hydroprocessing of vegetable oils, waste oils and animal fats. Technologies modelled are UOP Ecofining, Topsøe HydroFlex, Axens Vegan, Neste NExBTL and Sulzer BioFlux, with the Chevron Lummus Global, Sinopec, UPM, Chevron/REG and Petrobras routes also profiled. The report compares economics and CI for maximum renewable diesel modes on both virgin and UCO feedstocks across five regions, and models Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon intensities for each route. A detailed review of global policy, and an analysis of existing and firm capacity to 2030, are included as well.​

Ethylene Carbonate (2026 Program)

This report discusses the process technologies for ethylene carbonate (EC), a key component in electrolyte formulations for lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles (EVs), energy storage, and electronic appliances. EC is produced through the direct cycloaddition reaction of ethylene oxide and carbon dioxide and may subsequently undergo purification by distillation or crystallization to produce a high-purity, electronic-grade product. Production economics for the United States, China, Western Europe, and Middle East under a consistent second quarter 2026 price scenario are presented, along with a comparison with the pricing environment in February 2026 to assess the impact of changing market conditions on regional cost competitiveness. This analysis also includes carbon intensity assessments for standalone and integrated process configurations, as well as regional capacity summaries.

Biorenewable Insights: Ethanol (2026 Program)

This report examines selected routes for fuel ethanol production, focusing on conventional fermentation of crop-based “first generation” biomass feedstock and two routes to non-crop-based “second generation” product; hydrolysis of cellulosic biomass and fermentation of industrial/waste gases including from steel production. Technology analysis includes the range of technologies for advanced/second-generation ethanol, as well as details of emerging “third generation” processes. Economic Analysis includes cost of production models for first generation ethanol (from corn or sugarcane feedstock dependent on location), indicative cellulosic ethanol process from agricultural waste (sugarcane field trash, wheat straw or corn stover dependent on location) and indicative emerging syngas fermentation route using steel mill offgas. Analysis is provided for United States, China, Brazil and Western Europe.
