Ethylene oxide and glycols asset benchmarking tool

Optimise your commercial strategy with an integrated view of long-term market dynamics and strategic insights of global chemical markets.

Our EO MEG asset benchmarking tool is an interactive excel model covering over 180 assets across the world. This service provides full granular detail on feedstock cost input and allows the user to focus on EO or MEG…or both.  

It enables users to generate regional or global cost curves with margin profiles based on asset feedstock and utility data along with technology differences including those MEG assets based on coal feedstock. The tool also allows the user to construct custom asset data as well as providing the flexibility of changing key parameters. A deeper functionality can be achieved via a connection with our ethylene asset benchmarking tool.
