Sustainable Chemistry in the Energy Scene

Prof. Christine Travers

This presentation will introduce the participants to the world energy scene and the dominating role of oil and gas in today’s global mix.
We will then confront the future energy demand scenarios with the challenge of greenhouse gases emissions mitigation,in the context of the Paris Agreement.
The presentation then focuses on the Petrochemical sector and the multiple solutions to make the surging demand for petrochemical products compatible with the global sustainability objectives.
