The purpose of this report is to analyze developments in bio-aromatics production such as BTX and PX, which is of particular interest for bio-based PET bottle production.  The purpose of this study is to assess the technical, commercial, and economic aspects of producing bio-aromatics such as BTX and PX, and their relative costs by region against conventional aromatics.

This report analyzes the developments in methane and syngas fermentation technologies.  Methane and syngas are readily available gaseous feedstocks which have the potential to provide developers with a cost advantage in production.   The purpose of this study is to assess the technical, commercial, and economic aspects of syngas and methane fermentations, as well as their relative costs.

The purpose of this report is to analyze developments in polyethylene furanoate (PEF) as a replacement for polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which finds notable use in soda bottles.  The purpose of this study is to assess the technical, commercial, and economic aspects of producing PEF, and their relative costs by region against conventional PET.

The purpose of this report is to analyze developments in biological production of hydrogen and associated technologies.  Bio-based hydrogen can be used as is or converted into a number of chemical products - potentially improving the GHG profile of the process.  The purpose of this study is to assess the technical, commercial, and economic aspects of producing bio-derived or renewable hydrogen for either use as a substitute for petrochemically derived hydrogen.
