R&D Engineers & Researchers

Support innovation and process development with realistic cost and price data

If you are an R&D Engineer, Innovation Engineer, Technology Analyst or a researcher in public or private R&D centers and universities, you may be faced with questions like:

  • What would be the CAPEX and OPEX if an emerging technology were scaled to commercial level, considering both ISBL (core process units) and OSBL (utilities & infrastructure)?
  • How does our innovative route compare to conventional technologies?
  • Among the new patents emerging in our field, which technologies show real techno-economic potential?
  • How do raw material and utility costs affect the economic viability of a novel production pathway?
  • How do alternative production routes compare in terms of cost structure and competitiveness across geographies?

Answering these questions requires reliable insights — and that’s where we come in. Our team has assessed more than 1,000 processes and emerging technologies worldwide, giving us unmatched benchmarking experience. Since 2002, Intratec has delivered trustworthy analysis for R&D Engineers & Researchers.

Industry Sketch

Key Challenges

Lean teams with limited time and resources to evaluate emerging technologies

Difficulty tracking patents and competitor routes with real potential

Uncertainty in early techno-economic feasibility assessments of novel processes

Featured Image

Limited ability to benchmark innovative routes against conventional technologies across geographies

Pressure to deliver credible CAPEX/OPEX assessments under tight timelines and budgets

How Intratec Empowers Your Decisions

Commodity Production Costs

  • Standardized production cost analysis across alternative routes and geographies provide consistent basis for comparative studies

  • Independent CAPEX and OPEX estimates, with clear breakdown of ISBL vs. OSBL costs, support feasibility and scale-up assessments of emerging technologies

  • 800+ off-the-shelf studies covering established and emerging technologies enable comprehensive route comparison

  • Robust analyses delivered in a fraction of the time and cost of in-house efforts

Commodity Production Costs

Bespoke
  • Tailored reports developed on demand for specific processes (e.g. patent-derived routes, lab-scale processes) based on assumptions you define

  • Independent CAPEX and OPEX estimates for a innovative route, supporting feasibility and scale-up assessments

  • Same Intratec methodology as standard reports, ensuring comparability with conventional and emerging technologies

  • Robust analyses delivered in a fraction of the time and cost of in-house efforts, ideal for investment screening

Primary Commodity Prices

  • Independent benchmarks of raw material prices grounded in actual transactions ensure realistic inputs for cost models

  • Consistent, cross-country price datasets allow researchers to compare economics of innovative routes across geographies.

  • Historical series and short-term forecasts help assess how feedstock price trends may affect the viability of new technologies
