Jacobs Consultancy’s Global Ethylene Competitiveness Report is the first monthly subscription publication to address the fully supply chain costs for global PE and MEG production chains. The Report addresses the integrated economics, from feedstock hydrocarbon through to LLDPE and MEG on a CFR China and Western Europe delivered basis. The economic analysis derives from the deep, liquid hydrocarbon feedstock markets. Margins are similarly derived from butene LLDPE prices and spot MEG pricing in Asia and Western Europe.

The Report provides ongoing intelligence on Leader integrated producer plants in the US Gulf Coast (ethane/propane and natural gasoline), Saudi Arabia (ethane and propane), Western Canada, South Korea, Western Europe (inland and coastal) and China. Full supply chain costs are reported, including: plant cash costs (variable and fixed); packaging, freight, and distribution (with regular updates of ocean freight costs); SG&A costs; as well as tariff and technology royalty costs, as appropriate.
