Analysis and forecast to 2045 of supply and demand of the global methanol markets.  Methanol demand is segmented into olefins, formaldehyde, gasoline blending, MTBE, acetic acid, DME, biodiesel, and ‘others’.This analysis identifies the issues shaping the industry as well as provide demand, supply and net trade data for 40 countries.

Global energy markets have been quick to react to the evolving coronavirus situation.  Crude oil prices have plummeted as oil producing countries have disagreed on production strategies to support pricing levels given the current global supply glut.   In response to this, a new Low Low scenario offers pricing for principle feedstocks (petroleum and gas based), olefins, polyolefins and aromatics.   The scenario assumes crude oil prices remain depressed at a steady $20 per barrel in real terms through 2025.  Analysis is provided in Excel, with accompanying presentation and discussion time with the Lead Consultant.

This study assesses the technical, commercial, and economic aspects of producing propylene from bio-propane, bio-naphtha, and direct fermentation.  It compares cost of productions between the various routes, determines the likelihood of announced capacities, and comments on the implications for conventional propylene production.
