The total GHG emissions in the EU27 have witnessed a substantial decrease of 153 million tonnes (CO2) from 1990 to 2022, effectively halving the emissions. Remarkably, these efforts to lower emissions have had no adverse impact on the production growth of the chemical industry, which expanded by 43% in the EU27.
爱游戏中国官方网站 is fully supportive of the European ambition to lead in achieving climate neutrality by 2050 and remains committed to ongoing efforts in developing cleaner technologies, with a focus on increasing energy efficiency of the chemical processes. Achieving this objective requires continuous investments in breakthrough technologies. Beyond enhancing the energy efficiency of its internal processes, innovations in the chemical industry contribute to improving the energy efficiency along the full value chain resulting in lower net GHG emissions and thus also a lower carbon footprint of downstream products.
