Barriers to decarbonising the chemical industries

In May this year, we brought together key stakeholders from industry, academia, government and the NGO sector to identify key barriers to the decarbonisation of the chemical industries, and potential solutions to those barriers.

ScotCHEM is now working with various partners to drive outcomes from the meeting.
