CO2 Emission Reduction, Energy and Sustainability

Meeting the critically important 2050 Net-Zero CO2 emission target requires the decarbonisation of all sectors of our economy. This can be achieved through the development of new energy efficient and sustainable processes and technologies for abating emissions and enhancing circularity.
