Report Evaluates Role of Renewable Carbon Feedstocks to Achieve a Net-Zero Chemical Industry

Experts from nova-Institute, on behalf of the Renewable Carbon Initiative (RCI), prepared a new report titled Evaluation of Recent Reports on the Future of a Net-Zero Chemical Industry in 2050. The study builds on RCI’s work in introducing the concepts of renewable carbon and de-fossilization. It provides a critical assessment of net-zero visions for the […]
Pick Your Polymer Properties: Tool Predicts How to Achieve Them with Biomass

Great chemists have discovered ways to combine carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen into all manners of plastics: leak-proof food packaging, heat-resistant car parts, durable personal protective equipment — the list is long. The real challenge for a material scientist in the 21st century is finding the perfect recipe for making polymers more sustainable and higher […]
