But to match the urgency of action and tackle climate change seriously, a transformation of these large structures is indispensable. A sustainable development is only possible if chemistry decouples from fossil carbon sources. This transformation needs to happen quickly and on a large scale. If Europe&#8217;s chemical industry fails to transform, these structures could be lost and Europe will become totally dependent on China and the Gulf states. Politics plays a big role here, but is not fully aware of the big challenge and does not yet have comprehensive concepts for a chemical industry of the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the challenges in detail?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>New feedstocks from biomass, biogenic waste, CO2 plus hydrogen, or even plastic waste via chemical recycling must be integrated.<\/li><li>The product portfolio has to change significantly. Much less gasoline and diesel fuels, but a strong focus on chemicals and derived materials.<\/li><li>Sustainable aviation fuel from biomass, CO2 and chemical recycling will probably be the first new large-volume application.<\/li><li>Naphtha and crackers: What will become of this pathway, is it to be redesigned and\/or will other processes and intermediates become the starting point? Ethanol and methanol, lignin?<\/li><li>What role will electrochemistry play?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the solutions for a future-proof chemical industry in Europe?
