Sustainable Chemicals

A new formula for success

For the chemicals sector to catch up in the great energy transition, it must make huge strides. Moving to green energy, clean feedstocks and circularity; collaborating with agriculture and manufacturing and tapping into the potential of new and substitute chemicals. Decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors is a complex formula – and vital to get right.

A new design for life

70% of greenhouse gas emissions come from energy, industry and buildings combined so net zero won’t happen without a coordinated move to green infrastructure – at scale. We must radically reimagine how we live, work, travel and trade; how we produce and distribute. And our future cities? They will need  customised, tech-powered green infrastructure solutions to design, create and sustain them. There is no greater challenge.

Green is the new gold

This is mining’s moment. The sector must increase capacity to provide critical minerals for the energy transition, while reducing carbon emissions. The move to low-carbon mining and circularity is key. Costs can be controlled by relocating, reinvesting and realigning vital inputs. And only then can the greener minerals of tomorrow be born. Our climate depends on them.
