Chemicals

We support decarbonization efforts across specialty and commodity chemicals, with particular strength in electrochemical systems. From ethylene and propylene oxidation to glycerol valorization and catalytic pathways, we model systems for feasibility, scale-up, and emissions reduction.

Gray Wallpaper
Plastics & Recycling

Plastic production and recycling systems are complex, global, and data-challenged. Decarbin delivers transparent, high-resolution modeling for mechanical and chemical recycling pathways, circular economy flows, and lifecycle impact.

Gray Wallpaper
Fuels & Biofuels

We support the low-carbon fuels transition with detailed technoeconomic models and policy-aligned pathways. From glycerol valorization to biofuel blending policies, we evaluate both experimental and commercial systems for impact and scale.

Gray Wallpaper
Hydrogen & Electrolysis

Hydrogen is central to many decarbonization strategies. We work across technical and policy domains to evaluate electrolysis systems, hydrogen hubs, and sectoral integration of H₂ as a feedstock and energy carrier.

Gray Wallpaper
Iron & Steel

We provide detailed modeling of primary and secondary steel pathways—including hydrogen-based DRI, scrap-EAF, and policy-driven decarbonization scenarios. Our work supports clients evaluating technology transitions, procurement strategies, and emissions benchmarks.

Gray Wallpaper
Cement & Concrete

We support decarbonization across cement and concrete supply chains with lifecycle and technoeconomic modeling. From clinker substitution to CCUS and public procurement policy, we help clients assess pathways for deep emissions reductions in one of the world’s hardest-to-abate sectors.

Model capital and operating costs, scale-up feasibility, and economic barriers for emerging technologies in fuels, chemicals, and materials.

Technoeconomic Analysis (TEA)

Quantify cradle-to-gate or cradle-to-grave environmental impacts with geospatial, sector-specific, and policy-relevant data.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

Translate lab and pilot results into scalable industrial designs—with modeling grounded in engineering realism and commercial constraints.

Process Design & Benchmarking

Evaluate carbon pricing, procurement programs, and market policies to identify commercial opportunity and risk.

Policy & Market Impact

Strengthen research and funding proposals with fast, defensible TEA/LCA that reviewers trust.

Grant & Proposal Support

Support national labs, nonprofits, and public-private partnerships with sector-specific strategies to reduce emissions at scale.
