Abstrak

Significance The chemical industry underpins modern society across manufactured goods, food production and energy security via the production of plastics, solvents, fertilizers and more. However, it simultaneously presents multiple threats to the planetary boundaries that will undermine the industry's license to operate, requiring major and rapid system transformation. Our study presents seven planet-compatible pathways for transitioning the industry towards net-zero, employing both demand- and supply-side interventions to chemicals representing over 70% of the sector’s emissions. The pathways rely on circular strategies and suggest that the chemical industry has the option to become a carbon steward ultimately providing much-needed negative emissions to society. Imminent action and implementation are required globally to enable this radical transformation and unlock the presented pathways.
