However, new production technologies, new end-use applications, and a renewed focus on sustainability and low carbon intensity (CI) are creating significant new opportunities for the ethanol industry. Biorenewable Insights Manager, Steven Slome, and Fuels and Feedstocks Insights Manager, Matthew Morton will discuss NexantECA’s key findings from recent reports related to the ethanol value chain, including: 🟦 Why ethanol has a key role to play in decarbonization 🟦 Conventional ethanol decarbonization 🟦 Feedstock implications 🟦 Emerging routes to low CI ethanol 🟦 Emerging applications set to expand ethanol demand 🟦 Other key conclusions from recent reports related to the ethanol value chain To initiate a discussion with the NexantECA team, or for more information, email us at [email protected] #NexantECA #Ethanol #Decarbonization

View our latest NexantECA #CrudeOil and #Refining quarter three performance analysis for 2024 - https://hubs.ly/Q02RJ1Rr0 "Average Brent crude oil prices remain similar to first half of 2024 settling, between US$83 and US$85 per bbl. However, this relatively flat quarterly trend has masked short-term volatility, as regional instability and economic headwinds continued to disturb prices. Price volatility was particularly evident in quarter three. Brent crude oil prices recovered robustly from a six-month low approaching US$75 per bbl in early June to almost US$89 per bbl opening July. The June trough was spurred by impending end of OPEC+ voluntary supply cuts, and weakened expectations on global economic activity. Falling refinery margins raised expectations of reduced capacity utilisation and lower crude demand..."

Read our latest NexantECA #Petrochemicals and #Polymers quarter three performance insights and analytics for 2024 - https://hubs.ly/Q02RHVhL0 "Prices in quarter three of 2024 remained relatively stable with subtle movements recorded in commodities such as ethylene, propylene, vinyl and styrene. The ethylene chain in Asia largely recorded a decline in prices while propylene chain saw an uptick in prices, although changes are all very subtle. Despite an upward price trend in July and August, ethylene prices averaged lower on quarter two, shifting margins lower except for coal operations. The industry remained in a supply glut from massive additions of liquid-based steam cracker complexes with real concerns surrounding the massively negative margins key derivatives which has seen overbuilt capacity in Asia. Integrated polyolefin margins in China continued to be below variable cost since quarter four of 2023. Heavily supplied Asian propylene market shows similar trend in this quarter with margin squeezed as operators were unable to pass on the higher propane costs. Integrated PDH/polypropylene returns somewhere between variable cost and cash cost. Polypropylene in China remained relatively stable as slack demand was countered by maintenance turnarounds..."

While efficiency improvements and emissions reductions are essential for advancing the energy transition, we begin our #AsiaTechForum by addressing the greatest obstacle: the availability and cost of renewable feedstock. Our keynote speakers and panelists emphasized that these factors remain the most critical influences on the pace and success of the energy transition in the region. Kicking off the discussions here in Bangkok are Clive Gibson, Senior Vice President of NexantECA, and Natthakorn Kraikul, Vice President of Decarbonisation at PTT Global Chemical (PTTGC), followed by our panelists: Nungruetai Chaiyasit, Division Manager, Technology Department, PTT Global Chemical (PTTGC), Harsha Reddy, VP & Global Head of Sustainable Development, INDORAMA VENTURES, Gretchen Govoni, Chief Sustainability Officer, PETRONAS CHEMICALS GROUP, Simon Angell, Senior Vice President, KBC (A Yokogawa Company) and Stephane Wermester, Commercial Vice President, Asia Pacific, AXENS #EnergyTransition #Downstream

Discover our insights on the current #BioButadiene market with our latest blog post titled: Bio-Butadiene: Interest is bouncing back: https://hubs.ly/Q02QKDSz0 Recent developments have resulted in a tightening of the butadiene markets, particularly with deficits observed in C4 crude in regions like North America. Additionally, spikes in energy prices have negatively impacted European cracker economics, resulting in reduced production of both ethylene and butadiene. While the tightening of butadiene markets is favorable for the commercialization of bio-butadiene, the higher production costs pose challenges in terms of competitiveness when compared to current market prices. Presently, the supply of steam cracker crude C4 exceeds the forecasted butadiene consumption. However, in Europe, a shift towards lighter feedstock and the establishment of new, more sustainable plants, such as the INEOS cracker in Belgium, suggests ongoing opportunities for the development of bio-butadiene. To produce bio-butadiene there are a number of feedstocks which can be used to begin the process.
