Polyethylene Furanoate Production Costs - Q2 2023
Polyethylene Furanoate Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Polyethylene Furanoate (a.k.a. PEF) is a polyester compound synthesized from the copolymerization of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) with monoethylene glycol (MEG). While both FDCA and MEG can be obtained from biomass, PEF is a 100% recyclable bio-based polymer. Having similar structure to the widely used polyethylene terephthalate (PET), PEF is considered a potential substitute for this best-selling polyester.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Polyethylene Furanoate production costs. Each study describes an industrial plant, including main process units and site infrastructure, and presents an independent analysis of capital and operating costs. All reports are based on the most recent economic data available (Q2 2023).
Polyethylene Furanoate Production from FDCA
This report presents the economics of Polyethylene Furanoate (PEF) production from monoethylene glycol (MEG) and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). In the process under analysis, FDCA and MEG are polymerized to PEF in two polymerization steps: melt-phase polymerization and solid-state polymerization. The economic analysis provided assumes a plant located in the United States.
Details: 300 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 106 pages From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report PEF E11A target a 300 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
Polyethylene Furanoate Production from Glucose
This report, in turn, presents the economics of Polyethylene Furanoate (PEF) production from monoethylene glycol (MEG) and glucose syrup in the United States. In this process, a glucose is isomerized to fructose. Then, fructose is converted to methoxy methyl furan (MMF) intermediate, which is oxidized to FDCA. This process is similar to Avantium YXY. FDCA generated and MEG are then polymerized to PEF in melt-phase and solid-state polymerization.

The cost analyses presented in the report PEF E21A target a 300 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
Polyethylene Furanoate Production from Raw Sugar
This report presents the economics of Polyethylene Furanoate (PEF) production from raw sugar and monoethylene glycol (MEG) similar to Avantium YXY in Germany. Initially, raw sugar is inverted to fructose and glucose, which is isomerized to fructose. Then, fructose is converted to methoxy methyl furan (MMF), which is oxidized to FDCA. FDCA generated and MEG are then polymerized to PEF in melt-phase and solid-state polymerization.
Details: 300 kta Germany-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $1,499 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report PEF E31B target a 300 kta (kilometric tons per annum) Germany-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
