Deadline 2050: How Chemical Companies Can Navigate the Energy Transition

Chemical businesses are one of top three carbon-emitting industries, and among the most difficult to decarbonise. There is, however, growing pressure on companies to quickly find routes to a low carbon future. Emissions disclosure is becoming stricter, with the focus shifting to indirect upstream and downstream emissions (Scope 3), which for chemicals represent around 75% of their total emissions. 

Europe – A tough playground for chemical manufacturers

As the global chemical industry experiences unprecedented challenges, European manufacturers find themselves in the grip of a prolonged downturn. A sharp decline in market share, a plunge in business confidence, and soaring energy costs have cast a shadow over the once-steady growth.

With A&M as your partner, you can confidently navigate the complexities of the Advanced Materials & Chemicals industry, from operational improvements to strategic growth initiatives.
