On 16 April 2024, a major milestone was reached in the European chemical industry’s transition to sustainable carbon.<\/p>\n
A group of four EU member states – the Netherlands, France, Ireland and the Czech Republic – are proposing an overarching long-term European policy framework to the European Commissioner for Climate Action, Wopke Hoekstra, who has warmly welcomed the initiative. The joint statement aims to achieve a transition from fossil to sustainable carbon feedstocks in the chemical industry.<\/p>\n
More supportive Member States are expected to join this proposal soon, as it provides a clear pathway without alternative to ensure the transition towards a modern and globally competitive chemical industry in Europe \u2013 which at the same time can also achieve sustainability and net-zero targets. The Joint Statement is a milestone and a significant opportunity to limit Europe’s external dependencies while moving closer to our European climate and environmental goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":218711,"template":"","meta":{"qubely_global_settings":"","qubely_interactions":"","_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_uag_custom_page_level_css":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[48],"product_tag":[451,403],"renewable-carbon":[64,65,66],"publication-type":[70,342],"class_list":{"0":"post-218705","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-policy","7":"product_tag-rci_020625","8":"product_tag-rci29-5-24","9":"renewable-carbon-bio-based","10":"renewable-carbon-co2-based","11":"renewable-carbon-recycling","12":"publication-type-reports","13":"publication-type-rci-papers","15":"first","16":"instock","17":"downloadable","18":"virtual","19":"sold-individually","20":"product-type-simple"},"bundle_layout":"","bundled_by":[],"bundled_items":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/24-04-29-Milestone-for-the-Transition-to-Sustainable-Carbon-in-the-European-Chemical-Industry-thumbnail.png",679,960,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/24-04-29-Milestone-for-the-Transition-to-Sustainable-Carbon-in-the-European-Chemical-Industry-thumbnail-106x150.png",106,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/24-04-29-Milestone-for-the-Transition-to-Sustainable-Carbon-in-the-European-Chemical-Industry-thumbnail-212x300.png",212,300,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/24-04-29-Milestone-for-the-Transition-to-Sustainable-Carbon-in-the-European-Chemical-Industry-thumbnail.png",679,960,false],"large":["https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/24-04-29-Milestone-for-the-Transition-to-Sustainable-Carbon-in-the-European-Chemical-Industry-thumbnail.png",679,960,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/24-04-29-Milestone-for-the-Transition-to-Sustainable-Carbon-in-the-European-Chemical-Industry-thumbnail.png",679,960,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/24-04-29-Milestone-for-the-Transition-to-Sustainable-Carbon-in-the-European-Chemical-Industry-thumbnail.png",679,960,false],"qubely_landscape":["https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/24-04-29-Milestone-for-the-Transition-to-Sustainable-Carbon-in-the-European-Chemical-Industry-thumbnail-679x750.png",679,750,true],"qubely_portrait":["https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/24-04-29-Milestone-for-the-Transition-to-Sustainable-Carbon-in-the-European-Chemical-Industry-thumbnail-540x320.png",540,320,true],"qubely_thumbnail":["https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/24-04-29-Milestone-for-the-Transition-to-Sustainable-Carbon-in-the-European-Chemical-Industry-thumbnail-140x100.png",140,100,true],"mega-menu":["https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/24-04-29-Milestone-for-the-Transition-to-Sustainable-Carbon-in-the-European-Chemical-Industry-thumbnail-191x270.png",191,270,true],"blog-teaser":["https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/24-04-29-Milestone-for-the-Transition-to-Sustainable-Carbon-in-the-European-Chemical-Industry-thumbnail-380x245.png",380,245,true],"woocommerce_thumbnail":["https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/24-04-29-Milestone-for-the-Transition-to-Sustainable-Carbon-in-the-European-Chemical-Industry-thumbnail.png",679,960,false],"woocommerce_single":["https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/24-04-29-Milestone-for-the-Transition-to-Sustainable-Carbon-in-the-European-Chemical-Industry-thumbnail.png",679,960,false],"woocommerce_gallery_thumbnail":["https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/24-04-29-Milestone-for-the-Transition-to-Sustainable-Carbon-in-the-European-Chemical-Industry-thumbnail-200x200.png",200,200,true],"sow-carousel-default":["https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/24-04-29-Milestone-for-the-Transition-to-Sustainable-Carbon-in-the-European-Chemical-Industry-thumbnail-272x182.png",272,182,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Dominik Vogt","author_link":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/publications\/author\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"On 16 April 2024, a major milestone was reached in the European chemical industry's transition to sustainable carbon.
