The general trend in Europe in recent years is towards market consolidation, which involves capacity losses, acquisitions and a captive demand instead of merchant demand. However, Shell Chemicals was reported in Oct 2012 to be mulling an expansion of EO production capacity at its facility in Moerdijk, Netherlands. At present, its nameplate EO equivalent capacity is 305,000 tonnes/y, which would be increased by the proposed expansion. Contract EO prices for Mar 2013 increased by €41/tonne, pushing the high end of the evaluated ranges to a record high level. Developments in the market in the coming years will likely be determined by macroeconomic conditions. EODs are increasingly being favoured, but the downstream monoethylene glycol market will play between balanced to tight in 2013. BASF has 500,000 tonnes/y EO capacity in Antwerp, Belgium; INEOS Oxide has 420,000 tonnes/y capacity in Antwerp, Belgium; and Shell has 305,000 tonnes/y capacity in Moerdijk, Netherlands.

The agreement is rooted in a shared commitment to sustainability and high-performance products derived from triglyceride oils. Commercial supply of multi- thousand ton quantities of highly sustainable algal oil is expected to originate from the Solazyme Bunge Renewable Oils Joint Venture oil manufacturing plant in Brazil. Sales of product are anticipated to commence in 2014, with pricing to be competitive and based upon Solazyme’s cost of manufacturing. Product development efforts are anticipated to begin in 2H 2013, and are focused on a number of AkzoNobel’s end-market applications, specifically surfactants and paints and coatings.

ALKOPON NS ECO 92 is a highly concentrated surfactant for applications in toothpastes, soaps and other formulations. It provides a creamy foam and higher cleansing power when applied in soap formulations, the company claims. It is also considered a green product, being made from palm oil, Oxiteno reports. The OXISMOOTH line of green emollients provides pleasant sensory profiles for products such as body moisturizing lotions, after-shave and shower gels and other skin- conditioning products, because of its properties of dry touch, high spreadability and emollient power, Oxiteno says.
