Enabling a sustainable transformation
As the manufacturing sector responsible for around 70,000 products, the chemical industry is at the heart of the global economy, but its processes and products have traditionally been fossil-fuel intensive.
The sector is the largest industrial consumer of oil and gas, the third-largest producer of direct carbon dioxide emissions and chemicals derived from fossil fuels are essential to many everyday products, from fertilisers to plastics.
Decarbonisation for a more sustainable future is heralding a transformation in chemicals production. Innovative technologies, materials efficiencies and scaling up a circular economy approach are all part of the transition.
In order to achieve sustainability goals, strategies for new assets may include the elimination of greenhouse gas emissions, investment in carbon capture, utilisation and storage and increased use of biology in the production of materials, chemicals and energy to enable decarbonisation of end products.
Projects in this sector are technological and innovative by nature, high value and challenging in their demands and scale. Investment decisions for new build projects, modifications to meet environmental targets or extensions to existing assets can be highly complex and call for careful consideration of risk, timing and phasing.
