Catalysts for Environmental and Energy Applications

SUMMARY

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Meeting rising energy requirements and protecting the environment are among the most important applications of catalyst technology. Broadly speaking, a catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction by reducing the required activation energy, but which is left unchanged by the reaction.

The petroleum industry is the largest single user of catalysts, especially in producing refined products such as gasoline and diesel fuel. Catalysts also contribute to increasing the supply of petroleum by making it commercially possible to produce oil from sources once regarded as uneconomical, such as tar sands and heavy oil deposits. Catalysts are also being used to produce increasing quantities of synthetic oil and gas from coal and oil shale.

In addition to increasing supplies of naturally occurring and synthetic oil and gas, catalysts are in the forefront of technologies such as fuel cells and photovoltaic cells being developed to replace conventional fossil fuels. Catalysts also indirectly contribute to increasing energy supplies by increasing the efficiency with which hydrocarbon and other fuels are utilized.

Energy consumption is a major source of pollution (e.g., auto and industrial emissions), along with other waste-generating activities. Many people consider the prevention of global warming and other forms of environmental degradation to be a greater priority than increasing energy supplies.

Catalysts are indispensable to many types of environmental remediation, from vehicle emissions control systems to industrial effluent and municipal waste treatment. Catalysts also contribute indirectly to reducing pollution and other adverse environmental impacts, for example, through cleaner-burning fuels and the production of products such as refrigerants that pollute less than the substances they replace.

SCOPE OF STUDY

This report:

• Characterizes the current energy and environmental catalyst market, in quantitative as well as qualitative terms
• Identifies segments of the energy and environmental markets with the greatest commercial potential in the near to mid-term (2007 to 2012)
• Identifies and where possible quantifies the major demand drivers of energy and environmental catalysts
• Describes existing and new catalyst technologies under development to meet market requirements
• Projects future demand for different types of energy and environmental catalysts
• Evaluates the technical and other challenges that must be overcome for the market to realize its full potential.

METHODOLOGY AND INFORMATION SOURCES

The findings and conclusions of this report are based on information gathered from a cross section of catalyst developers, manufacturers, distributors, end users, and other informed sources. Interview data were combined with information gathered through an extensive review of secondary sources, such as trade publications, trade associations, company literature, and online databases, to produce the baseline market estimates contained in this report.

With 2006 as a baseline, market projections for each market segment were developed for 2007 to 2012. The projections are based on a combination of a consensus among the primary contacts combined with our understanding of the key market drivers and their impact from a historical and analytical perspective. The analytical methodologies used to generate the market estimates are described in detail in the section on Detailed Market Projections.

All dollar projections presented in this report are in 2006 constant dollars.
