Global Energy & Climate Change

Global Energy and Climate Change

The Issue:

• Conserve by aggressively pursuing efficiency
• Optimize, increase and diversity domestic energy and feedstock supplies
• Accelerate development of alternative clean/renewable energy and feedstock sources

• Leveraging the strength of chemistry and technology and unprecedented financial investments in R&D to achieve breakthrough solutions that will slow, stop and reverse global warming.
• Advocating for an international framework that establishes clear pathways to slow, stop and reduce emissions by all major carbon-dioxide emitting countries.
• Encouraging the monetization of carbon in fair marketplaces – a critical objective in establishing country market mechanisms for cost-effective carbon management. Each country should be allowed to establish its own system with targets set fairly for each industry sector.
• Advocating for governmental policies that generate the most energy-efficient and least emissions-intensive products and processes possible. We also use and support locally available energy and feedstocks wherever we operate.
