Ethylene oxide is the second largest ethylene derivative, consuming about 15 percent of global ethylene production.  This report provides an analysis of the technology and economics of producing ethylene oxide and some of its key derivatives.  Commercial technologies for ethylene glycol, ethanolamines, and ethylene glycol ethers are reviewed along with regional cost of production comparisons.

This report provides a comprehensive review of stationary applications of fuel cells that can convert a variety of hydrocarbon fuels directly to electricity.  Various types of fuel cell technology and systems are covered, along with an economic analysis of different system configurations. Also examined are the fuel cell industry and players, patent landscape and commercialization status.

This report analyzes the use of natural gas as transport fuel at present and in coming years with a focus on the U.S. market.  Natural Gas Vehicles (NGVs) and fuel stations are covered from both a technical and market point of view.  Technical aspects including current technologies, fuel switching , infrastructure and environment/safety with a focus on CNG fueling stations are studied, as well as the use of CNG in vehicles and LNG fuels in the bunkers market.

This techno-economic report offers a review of conventional routes to nitric acid and process descriptions for several licensors of nitric acid technologies. The report also provides economics developed for several different global locations (USGC, North West Europe, and the Middle East) for the conventional routes.

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of technology, economics and markets for the production of detergent range alcohols. Commercial process technologies via both synthetic (based on petrochemical feedstock) and natural (based on oleo feedstock) routes are discussed. Cost of production estimates of these production routes are included to illustrate cost competitiveness in selected regions. A market review including capacity listings and supply/demand figures is also presented.

The process technologies and production economics for low density polyethylene (LDPE) and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) are presented. Processes from major technology developers are reviewed. Cost of production estimates have been developed for USGC, China, and Middle East locations for LDPE and EVA. Production economics for LDPE are compared with LLDPE. Demand by end-use, capacity, and supply/demand/trade data is provided on a global basis and for North America, Western Europe, and Asia Pacific.

Large-scale electrochemical energy storage (EES) is growing in importance, with commercialized technologies, declining costs, and integration with renewable power sources (e.g., solar PV and onshore/offshore wind) thereby becoming a greater part of overall power generation mix while reducing overall carbon footprint, achieving decarbonization targets, and enhancing global sustainability.

This report analyzes the technoeconomic developments in only commercial bioplastics technologies. Relevant commercial technologies processes and high level economics are presented. Impacts on the conventional industry, trends and drivers are also discussed.

This report analyzes the technoeconomic developments in bio-naphtha technologies. Commercial hydroprocessed esters and fatty acids (HEFA), Fischer-Tropsch (FT), and pyrolysis based processes and high level economics are presented.  Upcoming biorefining project (that include bio-naphtha units) are analyzed. Impacts on the conventional industry, trends and drivers are also discussed.

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the caprolactam industry.  In addition to conventional caprolactam production from cyclohexane and phenol, this report also includes coverage of processes using non-conventional feedstocks.The analysis provides cost of production estimates for commercial and developing technologies for caprolactam production, within the USGC, Western Europe and China regions. Market analysis and an industry overview are also included to illustrate the commercial aspect of the industry.
