Can companies secure their fossil fuel supply at a reasonable cost and foster resilience?

It is a paradoxical situation. The risks posed by fossil fuels, are more apparent than ever, yet chemical companies are competing harder than ever for access to the dwindling pool of reliable, low-cost fossil sources. Instead, they should speed up their positioning in non-fossil sources to prepare for the transition to renewable carbon

Können Unternehmen eine bezahlbare und resiliente Versorgung mit fossilen Rohstoffen sicherstellen?

Es ist eine paradoxe Situation: Die Risiken fossiler Rohstoffe treten deutlicher denn je zutage, dennoch konkurrieren Chemieunternehmen mehr als zuvor um den Zugang zu einem schrumpfenden Angebot an verlässlichen und kostengünstigen fossilen Quellen. Stattdessen sollten sie ihre Positionierung bei nicht-fossilen Rohstoffquellen beschleunigen, um sich auf den Übergang zu erneuerbarem Kohlenstoff vorzubereiten
