Record RFS mandates strain biofuel supplies

The EPA’s recently finalized Renewable Volume Obligations (RVOs) for 2026–2027 raise Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) mandates to record levels, marking a step-change in required blending volumes. This shift increases demand across the system and leaves less buffer between required volumes and available supply, tightening overall market conditions. Key dynamics shaping supply requirements: These dynamics suggest […]

Oil & gas midstream: 2026 mid-year trends and supply chain impacts

The midstream sector in the first half of 2026 is moving at a breakneck pace, driven by a strategic pivot toward “wellhead-to-water” natural gas liquid (NGL) integration, severe high-horsepower compression supply-chain constraints, and a massive power-generation super-cycle spurred by AI data center expansion. Rather than relying on speculative mega-projects, major pipeline operators are maximizing fee-based […]

POE, POP demand growth continues in auto, packaging, & renewables

The early 1980s marked a turning point for the chemical industry with the emergence of single-site, homogeneous, or metallocene catalysts for polymer production. This single-site feature allowed for better control over polymer design, driving growth in specialty and engineered polymer applications. Ethylene- or propylene-based polyolefin elastomers (POE) and plastomers (POP) combine the properties of traditional […]
