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 […]

Economic and employment impacts of the U.S. methanol industry
The Methanol Institute (MI) commissioned ADI to prepare a study on the economic and employment impacts of the U.S. methanol industry. The study concluded that the availability of abundant and cheap shale gas supplies significantly advantages domestic production of methanol in the U.S. Any investments in new methanol production capacity could create a significant economic […]
