The chemical industry is heavily reliant on fossil fuels as feedstock
The supply of traditional feedstocks such as oil and gas for the chemical industry continues to be unstable. Their future is problematic: increasing societal pressure for sustainability and volatile markets. Therefore, the importance of alternative solutions continues to grow, with a focus on second generation biobased chemicals which will provide a reliable supply towards the future.
