Routes to adipic acid via KA oil, as well as emerging bio-based routes are discussed in detail. Process economics for seven technologies (including emerging bioroutes by Rennovia and Verdezyne) have been developed (China, N.W. Europe and U.S. bases). Regional market supply demand is included.

The chemistry, process technology and production economics for acetic anhydride and cellulose acetate (flake and tow) are presented. In addition, regional supply/demand forecasts and capacities for these materials are also given.

Process technology and economics of acrylonitrile production: propylene ammoxidation and propane ammoxidation. Regional supply/demand forecasts.

Phosphate and NPK fertilizers production technologies have been reviewed. Costs of production for diammonium phosphate and NPK fertilizers have been estimated. Regional supply/demand analysis for phosphate fertilizers is included.

This report provides a comprehensive overview of technology options for biojet fuel production.  It includes process descriptions and economics for the main routes for the best in class technology developers, as well as a discussion of market potential for North America, South America, Western Europe, and Asia.

The technologies, economics, supply, and uses of ethyleneamines are discussed for both current and emerging technologies. Detailed technology descriptions and regional economics for the USGC, North-West Europe, and China are provided for the ethylene dichloride process, the monoethanolamine process, and a speculative amino nitrile process from recent BASF patents.

Commercial and developing technologies for MEG production from petroleum, coal and biomass feedstocks have been reviewed. Process economics for MEG via ethylene from ethane, naphtha, methanol and ethanol have been developed. Regional supply/demand is included.

Routes to isoprene via C5 streams, as well as on-purpose and emerging biotransformation routes are discussed in detail. Process economics for seven technologies (including emerging bioroutes) have been developed (China, N.W. Europe, and U.S. bases). Regional market supply/demand is included.

Commercial petrochemical and emerging bio-based process technologies are reviewed. Process economics have been developed for five petrochemical-based and two emerging bio-routes on a same scale, same location basis. Selected regional economic analyses (China, Germany, Israel, Italy, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, Japan, U.S.) have been developed. Regional market supply/demand is included.

This PERP provides an overview of shale gas resources outside the United States and their potential impact on the petrochemical industry. It highlights worldwide occurrence, reservoir characteristics, along with environmental and downstream-related concerns. The report also examines the prospective impact of shale gas on ethylene and HDPE production economics for selected countries and a gas market assessment, including Nexant's shale gas production forecast.
