Sustainable chemicals pathways
There is an urgent need to develop climate-friendly ways of producing the chemicals that make life possible.
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.

An interplay of electrification and alternative fuels
Electric vehicles are big news. So big that the transition to them counts as a true megatrend for the 2020s. But it’s not the whole picture. To decarbonize by 2050, the world will need to embrace alternative fuels. Sustainable Aviation fuel. Hydrogen. Biofuels. These could become the biggest source of power for transportation and industry.

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.
