The study finds that ammonia, cement, ethylene, and steel companies can reduce their carbon-dioxide (CO2) emissions to almost zero with energy-efficiency improvements, the electric production of heat, the use of hydrogen and biomass as feedstock or fuel, and carbon capture....
Transforming the chemical industry to carbon neutrality requires abundant and cheap renewable energy as well as synergies and flexibilities from a convergence of the chemical and energy markets. Decarbonization strategies need to manage technical, financial and stakeholder requirements in an uncertain, volatile and ambiguous regulatory and socio-political environment. ...
The study is a valuable input into the discussion on the future of the European chemical industry and the transition towards a carbon neutral society. Its key findings will hopefully foster a successful dialogue amongst key stakeholders. ...
Green chemistry – offers a promising solution. Taking its lead from nature, its approach is to design chemical products and processes in a way that reduces or eliminates the use or generation of hazardous substances, thereby creating better, safer end results and reducing waste. Its application encompasses the entire life cycle of a product, from design and manufacture, through to use and recycl...
