Ethanol
Fuel Markets 2007: Alternative Fuel Solutions (839-E)
This market
research study is a comprehensive
review of the current and future global role of ethanol as a vehicular fuel and
fuel additive through 2012. Within the report ethanol use in land, air, sea and
other types of transportations are examined along with the key drivers
encouraging ethanol use and the challenges the ethanol industry and related
industries will face carving out a wider role in the transportation
market. Production methods, environmental
benefits and concerns, distribution challenges and competing fuel, fuel
additives and alternative energy sources are assessed.
Figures and forecasts include annual ethanol feedstock distribution, ethanol fuel use and production, DME fuel production, butanol usage, oil and oil shale production, heavy oil production, synfuel production and sugar cane production. The role of hydrogen internal combustion engines is also outlined with forecasts through 2016.
Hydrogen
Markets 2006: Existing and Emerging Applications (838-E)
"World Hydrogen
Generation 2006: Established and Emerging Markets" is a 300-page study of the
current status of the hydrogen and hydrogen generation industries and includes
a detailed review of whether or not there is to be success found from expansion
into energy storage and transportation. The traditional hydrogen markets of petroleum
refining, unconventional oil refining, semiconductor fabrication, annealing
stainless steel and annealing ferrous metals are looked at in detail, are as the
use of hydrogen through the decade for galvanizing and brazing operations, for
sintering, within the float glass industry and for hydrogenation.
The study lists the reasons why the hydrogen industry may not be able to create the lower hydrogen prices needed to become predominant in the emerging energy storage and transportation markets and also discusses in detail how these chasms may be crossed successfully. Today hydrogen prices, determined by both the method of generation and the feedstock, are acceptable for industrial uses but unacceptable for energy applications and are currently rising rather than falling. Producing hydrogen at a reduced cost is the greatest challenge facing the industry today.
The report also details the move to fuel cells for transportation and the intricacies of building a hydrogen world, including the need for a new and more reliable storage and distribution system and also details what would be needed to move to a hydrogen internal combustion engine. Projections of stationary fuel cell use for energy applications and the growth in that sector in the coming years is detailed, as is the amount of hydrogen to be used for automotive applications through 2010.
Also examined are the annual unit sales and the corresponding yearly sales revenues of electrolysers, large stream reformers and small reformer sales through 2010. Annual production through 2010 for Methanol, ammonia and hydrogen are also given and discussed extensively.
