Long-term impact
Why using fossil resources as energy source instead of raw material? American Chemistry Council, "Energy," published 2011,
American Chemistry Council.
Chemical industry – doomed to the steam boiler?

BIOMASS WATER SUN EARTH WIND WASTE
In the post-oil age the widest available, sustainable form of energy.
The future is green electricity
Chemicals as:
• Green energy-based products
• High-capacity green energy storage
