Syngas & Derivatives Market

The syngas & derivatives market is estimated at 2,45,557 MWth in 2020 and is projected to reach 4,06,860 MWth by 2025, at a CAGR of 10.6% from 2020 to 2025. The chemicals segment is estimated to lead the syngas & derivatives market in 2020, owing to increasing demand for derivatives such as methanol, ammonia, and FT synthesis products to manufacture chemical intermediates for use in chemical synthesis and to manufacture fertilizers and petrochemicals. In addition, high demand for chemical intermediaries in the production of hygiene and sanitization and pharmaceutical products due to outbreak of COVID-19 is anticipated to fuel the growth of syngas and its derivatives in the chemical segment. Manufacture of chemicals and fuels was marked as critical infrastructure and as essential goods and services, which led to continuation in the operations and production of syngas derived chemicals, fuel, and electricity to meet the demand across the world. Furthermore, rising environmental concerns due to excess usage of traditional fuels are expected to fuel the growth of the syngas & derivatives market.

Air Products and Chemicals Inc. (US) is a leading manufacturer of industrial gases in the world. The company manufactures hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and syngas under the process gases division. Air Products provides coal gasification technology with processes such as Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC), polygeneration, Gas-To-Liquids (GTL), Coal-To-Liquids (CTL), Coal-To-Chemicals (CTC), and Substitute Natural Gas (SNG). The company has a geographic presence in over 50 countries.

• In May 2020, Air Products and Chemicals Inc. and Haldor Topsoe A/S (Denmark) have signed global Alliance Agreement for collaboration on large-scale ammonia, methanol, and/or dimethyl ether projects around the world. The Alliance Agreement provides Air Products access to Topsoe’s technology license(s) and the supply of certain engineering design, equipment, high-performance catalysts and technical services for ammonia, methanol and/or dimethyl ether plants to be built, owned and operated by Air Products. The collaboration allows for the integration of Topsoe’s technology into many Air Products’ technologies including gasification of various feedstocks, and synthesis gas processes.
• In May 2020, Air Products and Chemicals Inc. has signed a definitive agreement with PT. Bakrie Capital Indonesia and PT. Ithaca Resources to build, own and operate facilities and supply methanol under a long-term on-site contract for a world-scale coal-to-methanol production facility in Bengalon, East Kalimantan, Indonesia. Under the long-term on-site contract, PT. Bakrie Capital Indonesia and PT. Ithaca Resources will supply the coal feedstock and have committed to offtake the methanol production for sale within Indonesia. Air Products will invest about USD 2.0 billion to build, own and operate the air separation, gasification, syngas clean-up, utilities and methanol production assets to produce methanol for Bakrie and Ithaca. This facility—including Air Products’ proprietary Syngas Solutions dry-feed gasifier—will enable nearly two million tons per year of methanol to be produced from nearly six million TPY of coal. The project is expected onstream in 2024.

Sasol Limited (South Africa) is an integrated oil & gas group with a substantial interest in the chemical and energy industry.
