Our annual #Chemicals M&A Report has shown optimism about M&A activity among chemicals executives surveyed. We explore factors impacting this, which include growing #sustainability-related pressure, plans for expansion of products to meet demand for sustainable, carbon footprint-reducing options, and a shift from traditional commodity business to more innovative, customer-facing models in areas such as recycling, renewables, and specialty: https://bit.ly/4dGlGdJ Authors: Andrew Walberer, Sudeep Maheshwari, Jose Antonio Alberich, and Dr. Tobias Lewe

Excited to share BCG’s latest article on Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) – BECCS is an affordable carbon-removal approach that is gaining traction in industries such as pulp and paper, electricity generation, ethanol, and cement because its helps companies progress toward their net zero commitments while generating significant profits per ton of CO2 removed—or more. This not only helps meet tightening emissions regulations but also avoids high fees. BECCS can help companies deliver carbon-neutral bio-derived products and generate valuable carbon-removal credits.

#Sustainability has two main pillars within chemicals: 1) Decarbonization (#CO2 emission reduction), and 2) #Plastics circularity. Both pillars face investment challenges in 2024. #Petrochemical companies focus on maintaining profitability and managing costs as demand weakness persists, so higher-cost investments in sustainability, while critical, will take a backseat in 2024.

Senior Consultant, Speaker, Moderator | Global Commodity Markets | Energy Industry | Low Carbon Solutions
This year kicked off very busy, in meetings with the industry leaders and ministers of the world of all things Chemicals - and the majority ask us #spglobal for 2024 chemical markets behaviour and fundamentals. Less interest in the long term, mid term and more tuning into going through this year with least margin loss, seems to be on the mind of most companies. Below is a neat snapshot of key 2024 trends to watch for in Global Chemicals, to help drive your strategy and thinking towards achieving successful 2024. And all this for a backdrop to an ongoing environment of the chemical industry down-cycle, price volatility with an added sauce of geopolitical turbulence. #platts #petrochemicals #sustainability #decarbonization #pricing #2024trends

A green industrial economy is the foundation for a net-zero transition. Our latest report with CDP finds that target-setting and emissions reduction are increasing for hard-to-abate sectors, but not quick enough. We see four key unlocks for driving change: 1. Industry coalitions and associations for amplifying target setting, decarbonisation measures, and regulatory support 2. Engagement with financial institutions and government bodies to unlock the capital required 3. Comprehensive disclosures to meet stakeholder demands, uncover risks, and track progress 4. Advocacy efforts to support action from policymakers Read our joint report for further insights on where Chemicals, Steel and Cement are on the net-zero journey: https://lnkd.in/g7HhtVTA Kudos to my BCG colleagues Diana Dimitrova, Nikolas Kampas, Subhajyoti Ghosh for their work on this! #Decarbonization #GreenIndustry #NetZero

Excited to share BCG’s latest article on Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) – a transformative solution for industrial firms aiming for net zero. 🌍 BECCS isn't just about capturing carbon; it's about revolutionizing our approach to sustainable production and unlocking significant economic value. 🌟 How can BECCS create value? BECCS is an affordable carbon-removal approach that is gaining traction in industries such as pulp and paper, electricity generation, ethanol, and cement because its helps companies progress toward their net zero commitments while generating significant profits per ton of CO2 removed—or more. This not only helps meet tightening emissions regulations but also avoids high fees. BECCS can help companies deliver carbon-neutral bio-derived products and generate valuable carbon-removal credits.

I'm excited to share the formation of New Energy Chemicals, a bold new division of New Energy Blue, LLC, dedicated to propelling our clean energy efforts forward. In phase one, we're gearing up to produce American-made bio-based ethylene, powering Dow's production of low carbon plastics that touch every aspect of our daily lives. This partnership is not just about business—it's about transformation. Together, we're driving towards true circularity, redefining waste and paving the way for a brighter, more sustainable future. This partnership continues to advance Dow’s goals to #TransformTheWaste and achieve true circularity. Read more about New Energy Blue and New Energy Chemicals: https://dow.inc/3vu0tn6

The 'Sustainable Feedstocks: Accelerating Decarbonization in Chemicals' article, produced by McKinsey & Company, explores the idea that for companies in the chemical industry to remain competitive, they must invest in products and chemicals that can contribute to achieving net-zero emissions. Creating a competitive advantage involves investing in innovative technologies and feedstocks, even in the face of uncertainties. By integrating into the supply and customer sides through strategic investments and long-term agreements, chemical players can potentially gain environmental and societal benefits.
