WS1 Critical review
In this workstream we aim to provide an informed view of the accuracy and comprehensiveness of emissions data and monitoring regimes, across petrochemical sectors. The review will assess...
Projects
WS2 Data modelling and uncertainty
We will develop an open and comprehensive integrating model of global resource flows, emissions and technologies in the petrochemicals sector. This will combine information, data and learnings from...
WS3 Process energy and GHG emissions
We will disaggregate WS1 energy use and emissions data into more detailed industry subsectors, products and processes for incorporation by WS2, 6 and 7, and use this technology...
WS4 Demand for chemical products
In this workstream, we will map the global flows of chemicals from production to end-use applications. This map will be used to build a dynamic model of product...
WS5 Recycling and end-of-life options
The transformation from light to heavy feedstocks in chemical manufacturing opens up opportunities for enhanced circular polymer processing and the integration of waste plastic de-polymerization chemical manufacturing. We...
WS6 Economic context
This workstream creates a high-level macroeconomic model of how the plastics supply chain, including recycling and capturing of GHG emissions (e.g. from industrial facilities) integrates within a large...
WS7 Business landscape
This workstream will analyze the business ramifications of future changes to petrochemical supply chains, ( are identified in WS3, 4 and 5, and fully modeled in WS2) which...
