4:35 PM: Olefin Feedstocks – the Impact of the Circular- and Bio-Economy - Mark Morgan, Vice President, Specialty Chemicals and Renewables Consulting, S&P Global Commodity Insights

With increasing demand for olefins and a need to reduce emissions in their production, the industry needs to be on a constant lookout for new technologies and alternative feedstocks. For example, companies are revisiting seriously using ethanol as a low-carbon ethylene source. The advanced biofuels industry is making feedstocks like bio-naphtha and bio-LPG more available. Bio-propane is already being processed in some PDH units to make low-carbon propylene for polypropylene. Bio-naphtha is being co-cracked for olefins and aromatics production. Emerging biofuel technologies like alcohol to jet fuel (ATJ) will also co-produce small volumes of bio-naphtha. The circular economy too is also making hydrocarbon feedstocks available for processing in refinery operations like the FCC and steam cracking. These developments are not without challenges, however, in terms of cost, pricing and availability, so how can these developments be realised and an industry seeking to meet the net-zero challenges of the future?
