** Another [http://learnche.mcmaster.ca/media/mcmaster/Smith-and-Varbanov--What's-the-price-of-steam.pdf good article on pricing steam]
** From the above 2 articles you will gather that steam generation is a complex "mini-plant" in its own right, usually generating it using natural gas as an energy source. So if you find an outdated steam price, ratio it against the price of natural gas to get current pricing.
** ACO pricing is hard to come by, but ACO has similar physical properties to palmitic acid, or hexadecanoic acid. In the absence of better information, you may use this for pricing instead.
