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.​

This techno-economic report offers a review of chemistry, properties, feedstock choices, business development considerations, technology, and development trends of Detergent Alcohols. Process economics for several technologies, including synthetic and fatty alcohols, have been developed (United States, Western Europe and South-East Asia bases). Regional market supply/demand and commercial applications are included. The report also includes an analysis of carbon intensity for various processes.

Advances in battery energy storage systems (BESS) are growing in importance with continual technological improvements and declining costs of leading battery chemistries such as lithium-ion, vanadium redox, sodium-sulfur, and others. This includes improvements with new chemistries boosting performance. BESS units play an essential role via increased integration with power supply sources with zero-greenhouse gas and zero-carbon emissions such as intermittent renewable power sources (e.g., solar PV and wind) and advances in dispatchable baseload commercial nuclear power (e.g., small modular reactors). This report discusses the viable pathways for BESS units, evaluates the status of commercially advanced battery technologies and applications, and reviews the methodologies for determining the costs and techno-economics of BESS technologies, systems, and projects. The report also provides detailed case studies along with an overview of technology types, their rated output, project status, siting and location, ownership, supply/value chain partners, cost, performance, benefits, and any other relevant data and information.
