Growing role of joint ventures
A discussion covers the major incentives for joint ventures (high capital costs for world-scale plants, the supply of raw materials and product marketing experience by different members of the venture, pooling of requirements to achieve economies of scale, shortage of raw materials that force a shift to an alternative feedstock, and legislative action that requires a change from one raw materials source to another); the three general categories of joint venture projects (petrochemical feedstocks, utilities, and coal conversion to gases and liquids); specific examples of such projects and their status; and Data Resources Inc.'s forecast of a demand for 2 commercial coal conversion plants for SNG and synthetic hydrocarbon liquids production by 1985 and for 4-6 such plants by 1990.
