Fuels of the Future
At a time when oil prices continue to escalate and supplies are diminishing, energy strategies are particularly critical for countries like the United States, China, and India. For example, the U.S. depends on foreign sources for 60% of its energy needs.
These Fuels of the Future studies provide a single comprehensive reference for scientists, engineers, program managers, and policymakers engaged in R&D planning and commercial feasibility studies of projects. These reports should also be of interest to those in private industry, engineering companies, financial institutions, and government led development programs who are planning for the development and execution of projects.
Coal to Liquids (CTL)—Energy strategies that can bolster liquid fuels are particularly critical for countries with limited oil reserves. The US alone depends on foreign sources for sixty percent of its energy needs. This new report contains the latest information on CTL technologies, capital and production costs and regional environmental considerations.
Gas to Liquids (GTL)—This first of its kind report combines technology intelligence on catalysis and reactor design with economic perspective and market overview for the production of synthetic fuels from natural gas using GTL process technologies.
Flat Panel Display Chemicals
Anyone
interested in participating in the burgeoning market for flat panel
display chemicals will find this report an invaluable resource
to determine their future strategy for this business. Companies
that currently supply materials to any segment of the display market
will need to understand the trends in competing technologies.
Water and Sustainability in the 21st Century
Water supply is in a silent crisis. More than 100 cities and suburban areas around the world have inadequate water supplies. For example, each resident in Beijing can access only 10,500 cubic feet of water per day. The world average is 35,300 cubic feet per day. Additionally, 300 million rural Chinese lack clean drinking water because of polluted waterways—53% of water in China’s major rivers, half the lakes, and 35% of groundwater supplies are undrinkable.

| TECHNOLOGY INTELLIGENCE FOR COAL TO LIQUIDS (CTL) STRATEGIES |
Global demand for energy continues to increase, with oil demand alone expected to increase 40%-50% by 2030. For coal to be a valuable part of an energy strategy, processes that now produce about 65% waste need to be more efficient, more cost-effective, and cleaner. This report examines the technology and economics of using coal to extend liquid fuel reserves and makes clear that the challenges for deploying CTL technologies are serious but not unsolvable.
