A number of novel technologies for ethylene production have been announced. Among these are processes that use catalysts to convert methane or methanol to olefins. While these processes may play certain niche roles in ethylene production, they are likely to find little room in industry. The first article in this series presented new ethylene processes that use conventional feedstocks. This final article details novel routes that use alternative feeds. Methane oxydimerization, oxydehydrogenation, the Mobil methanol process, and UOP/Hydro process are described.
