UN suggests path to carbon-neutral chemical industry

Key Takeaways Deploy technology solutions for carbon neutral industriesCountries need to support and encourage innovation and research and development to advance development and deployment of low-and zero-carbon technologies.Industrial energy efficiency, carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS), hydrogen, nuclear power and heat, and electrification are key to achieving carbon neutral industries. Embrace the concepts of circular carbon economy and industrial clustersCircular carbon economy that relies on carbon reduction, capture, reuse and removal combined with an industrial cluster approach is a means of creating sustainable jobs and provision of a low-carbon stimulus to economies.This is possible through investments from the EU Innovation Fund and other government and private sector initiatives.
