Getting Rid of Carbon: A New Direction for the Chemical Industry
Abstract: The chemical industry is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions due to its reliance on fossil-based feedstocks, energy-intensive processing routes, and long-lived capital infrastructure. Achieving international climate targets therefore requires deep decarbonisation across the entire chemical value chain, a transition complicated by technological limitations, economic risks, and systemic operational barriers. This article critically evaluates key emission-reduction pathways, including electrification of process heat, substitution of fossil resources with bio-based …

Revolutionizing Steel Production: A Pathway to Low-Carbon Direct Reduction Iron (DRI)
Abstract: The steel industry, a cornerstone of modern infrastructure, is a significant contributor to global CO2 emissions, accounting for roughly 11% of industrial carbon output. To mitigate this impact, breakthrough technologies and decarbonization strategies are essential, especially as extreme weather events highlight the urgency of addressing climate change. Potential routes to a low-carbon future for steelmaking are provided by advancements in carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), hydrogen-based steel manufacturing, and …
