Market Analytics: Ammonia - 2024 provides analysis and forecasts to 2050 of supply and demand of the global ammonia industry.  This analysis identifies the issues shaping the industry as well as provide demand, supply and net trade data for 40 countries/regions. Ammonia demand is segmented by key end-use including ammonium nitrate fertilizers, ammonium phosphate fertilizers, direct application fertilizer, industrial, other nitrogen fertilizers, urea, marine fuels and power generation. The report captures: Consumption: Assesses historic and forecast consumption; forecasts are based on projections of end use and economic activity. Supply: Includes a list of all producers, their production capacity, location, etc., and discussion of the status of new projects. Supply, Demand and Trade: Provides historical analysis and forecasts to 2050 of consumption, production, imports/exports, inventory build-up/decline, capacity and capacity utilization. NexantECA has also utilized its long standing knowledge in the energy and fuels sector to forecast the consumption of ammonia in emerging end uses including marine fuels and power generation.

This BI report investigates the technical, economic and commercial aspects of methanol to jet (MTJ) technology. Cost of production estimate models and carbon intensity analysis are provided across several regions.

Public and private efforts for sustainability will soon result in fundamental changes to the production processes for materials used in construction of chemical and fuel plants, representing a gradual shift from major historical capital cost structures. This study examines the underlying materials associated with capital cost in the chemical and fuels industries and the coming effects of low-CI production methods on their costs, focusing on key materials such as steel, aluminum and concrete as well as other key factors for capital cost.

This report investigates the various commercial and developmental routes for the production of renewable ethylene. Technologies based on bio-ethanol, bio-naphtha, and bio-methanol are investigated for ethylene production, as well as sugar and glycerin-based routes directly to ethylene glycol. Pyrolysis oil from thermal conversion of plastic wastes has seen significant development for conversion into bio-naphtha feedstock, as well as gasification of biomass to produce methanol for ethylene production. Dry reforming of methane with carbon dioxide and electrochemical production of ethylene are the new technologies covered in this edition of the report. Cost of production models, process descriptions, capacity analysis and implications for the conventional industry are included.
