In the twelfth episode of the PtX Lab Talk, experts discuss the necessary transformatoin of petrochemical plants. Fossil lock-in effects in this sector are well known and are delaying the transformation to a fossil-free industry.
The PtX Lab Talk #12 ‘Phasing-Out or Retrofitting? Strategies for Petrochemical Plants to overcome fossil Lock-Ins’ focusses on overcoming fossil lock-ins and the need for a phase-out policy for fossil production plants.
We discuss what needs to happen to existing petrochemical plants in the future in order to transform the chemical industry into a fossil-free industry.Further information on the PtX Lab Talk #12 on 24 October 2024 from 01:00 p.m. to 02:30 p.m. will be published here. Registration for the event is already possible.
Key topics
- How can petrochemical plants be made fit for the future?
- Are circular, bio-based and hydrogen-based technologies sufficient to lead the chemical industry into a sustainable future?
- Retrofitting vs. phasing out vs. phasing in: Which strategy is the right one? Should the petrochemical industry pursue the phase-out of fossil fuels (phasing-out), retrofit existing plants (retrofitting) or switch to sustainable solutions more quickly through a targeted phase-in of sustainable technologies?
