Case Study · Supply Chain Analysis
Swapping pet coke for renewable carbon.
A global pigment producer wanted to replace calcined pet coke with biocoke from certified renewable sources in its preferred regions. We profiled 15 biocoke players, widened the search to biomass and identified 22 more potential suppliers.
