On a longer term, Shell Chemicals anticipate increased ethylene production based on a new and growing slate of feedstock ranging from biological sources such as ethanol and agricultural biomass to coal. "We also expect the industry to rise to the challenge of climate change with a range of solutions stretching from production improvements and carbon sequestration to a growing slate of products made from CO2," said Allen.
To meet the coming challenges, he said the chemical industry will need to make revolutionary technological breakthroughs: "Our track record suggests that given time and significant, sustained investment, chemists and chemical engineers, working with other scientists and technologists, will help make this happen."
