The purpose of this report is to analyze technology developments in the nascent renewable/biobased electrochemicals and electrofuels sector.  Utilizing renewable power and carbon dioxide, a number of renewable chemicals and fuels can be produced.  Technical, commercial, and economic aspects of producing selected electrochemicals and electrofuels are examined, including syngas, methane, ethylene, gasoline, organic acids, 3-HPA, alcohols, ethylene glycol and hydrogen.

The purpose of this report is to analyze technology developments that lead to the bio-based monomer production used in the manufacture of polyamides.  Bio-renewable sources such as castor oil, palm kernel oil, starch, sugar, and tallow are currently being developed for the production of bio-monomers.  The purpose of this study is to assess the technical, commercial, and economic aspects of producing several bio-monomers.

PMMA process technologies and production economics are presented. Descriptions are provided for general processes and licensed technologies along with cost of production estimates for USGC, Western Europe and China. Demand by end use, capacity and supply/demand/trade data is provided for global and regional markets.

This report covers the markets, applications, formulation considerations, monomer selection, production technology, and cost-of-production estimates for pure acrylic, styrene acrylic and vinyl acrylic latex (or emulsions).  The use of acrylic latex in paints and coatings is examined in detail, including typical production methods for paints, and types of acrylic latex consumed by region.  The drivers for innovation, key producers, and growth strategies in this segment are also discussed.
