業務進展：
Ecovyst forecasts a growing demand for regeneration services and virgin sulfuric acid, supported by robust demand for mining and ongoing project expansions in North America.
The company sees growth opportunities in sustainable fuels. North American capacity for renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel is projected to grow by over 70% in 2024.
Despite Q1 sales slump in advanced silicas, the company anticipates improved sales in the latter half of the year driven by better global demand conditions.
Following the resolution of a strike by Union workers at the Houston site, the company forecasted further growth driven by improved global polyethylene demand and virgin sulfuric acid sales.
Ecovyst foresees the renewable fuels catalysts business, which currently constitutes 10% of AMAC group sales, growing by around 20% over time.
Expansion into the sustainable fuels sector is planned focusing on renewable diesel with expectations for sustainable aviation fuel to become significant in 2025-2026.
To meet increasing polyethylene catalyst demand, long-term expansion decisions have been made.
The company has planned two turnarounds for Q2, with 80% of the year's turnaround activity already completed. This provides a positive volume outlook for the rest of the year.

該公司看到了可持續燃料的增長機會。預計到2024年，北美的可再生柴油和可持續航空燃料的產能將增長70％以上。
儘管第一季度先進二氧化硅的銷售下滑，但該公司預計，受全球需求改善的推動，下半年的銷售額將有所改善。

爲了滿足不斷增長的聚乙烯催化劑需求，已經做出了長期擴張決策。
