The webinar, hosted by nova-Institute, will give an overview about the main findings of the RCI-report, highlighting that recent updates in life cycle inventory (LCI) databases have now incorporated a previously undiscovered, significant underestimation of methane emissions in crude oil and natural gas supply chains due to venting, flaring and leaks. It will demonstrate that these methane losses have a direct impact on the calculated carbon footprints of fossil feedstocks and the many materials derived from them.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The webinar will demonstrate that bio-based polymers such as bio-PE, renewable PP, or bio-MEG, now show an even stronger climate advantage compared to their fossil counterparts, reinforcing the role of renewable carbon in supporting defossilisation and climate goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, it\u00a0will briefly touch on a few conclusions and recommendations for the future, including implications for emerging technologies, maintained\u00a0regular database updates, expanded emissions tracking, and harmonisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public RCI webinar will take place on 13 November 2025,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. CET,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaker: Dr. \u00c1ngel Puente from nova-Institute, main author of the report<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
