We wholeheartedly welcome the announcement of a Clean Industrial Deal and a European Competitiveness Fund and congratulate Ursula von der Leyen on her re-election as President of the European Commission 👏. Six months since the European Industry Summit, the collective voice of 25 industrial sectors represented by nearly 1,300 stakeholders that signed the Antwerp Declaration has been heard loud and clear. A Clean Industrial Deal will safeguard the competitiveness of Europe’s energy-intensive industries and allow us to achieve our common aspirations to implement the #EUGreenDeal 🌍. We look forward to working with the new European Commission on these initiatives towards a greener, prosperous, and more competitive Europe. Together, we can ensure that the future of clean and cutting-edge technology is made in Europe 🦾. We are grateful for the acknowledgement of our call for an Industrial Deal as outlined in the #AntwerpDeclaration 📜. “The fundamentals of the global economy are changing and those who are not competitive will be dependent ⚙️. The future of our prosperity must be made in Europe.” #IndustrialDeal #EuropesChoice #EPlenary European Parliament 

How can we boost circularity, integrate clean energy, and speed up the chemical industry’s transition to climate neutrality? 🚀 ➡️ Innovation, supportive policies, and market incentives will all have a key role to play, as revealed in discussions at Cefic’s #ACHEMA24 Process Innovation Stage sessions, which focused on climate neutrality, chemical recycling, and sustainable carbon cycles. Key takeaways 🔑: ✴ Boosting circularity: Traditional mechanical recycling methods and chemical recycling are complementary solutions. Chemical recycling technologies are key in our journey towards a circular economy, as they can handle materials that cannot be recycled mechanically. ♻️ ✴ Transition to climate neutrality: Achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 requires the integration of renewable and low carbon energy carriers combined with the utilisation of circular feedstocks.🌍 ✴ Policy framework and market incentives: Supportive policies are key to create a market for products from innovative processes that contribute to circularity and climate neutrality, and to facilitate cost-competitive access to alternative feedstocks and renewable or low-carbon energy.💡 🌐 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/d5BatvMk #CircularEconomy #ClimateNeutrality #ChemicalIndustry #Innovation #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #ChemicalRecycling #RenewableEnergy #NetZero2050

Innovation, policy alignment, and collaboration are key to achieving our hydrogen and climate goals for 2030 and beyond. These were some of the key outcomes from #ACHEMA24 during Cefic sessions on Hydrogen.   🌍💧 The transition to a hydrogen economy is vital for achieving climate neutrality and sustainability goals in Europe. Despite advancements, challenges remain, such as technology scale-up, regulatory certainty, and the need for product-level certification.   Read more here: https://lnkd.in/drTsZiZm   #HydrogenEconomy #Innovation #Sustainability #ClimateAction #Cefic #EnergyTransition #ClimateNeutrality

In order to achieve the 2050 #GreenDeal goals, the #chemicalindustry must transform not only how we produce but also what we produce 🌍. This entails continuing our journey towards a twin transition: going climate neutral, circular, digital, and shifting towards products that are safe-and-sustainable by design ♻️. https://lnkd.in/e9GNSz-f It has been approximately 18 months since the Transition Pathway for the chemical industry was published by the European Commission. What is the status? Here are the key updates: 🤝 The co-implementation process is in progress 🔭 EU Business has published 112 transition initiatives 🛣️ Six national transition pathways have been released 📜 The first #TransitionPathway progress report is published Moreover, the broad support for the Antwerp Declaration reiterates the industry’s dedication to the EU #GreenDeal, aiming for a sustainable and competitive European industrial sector. #IndustrialDeal #AntwerpDeclaration

The numbers in the latest #chemicaltrends report for the first quarter of 2024 are encouraging… 🧮 Read online: https://lnkd.in/ergGQkEZ 📈 Output in was 1.8% higher than in Q4-2023 📊 Small increase of capacity utilisation from 74.4% in Q3-2023 to 75.5% 🧮 The EU27 chemicals trade surplus reached the highest value since Q1 2022 (€14.8 bn) …yet should be taken with a grain of salt 🧂, given that their benchmark is 2023: a year where production was still far below pre-COVID levels.
