Resources for Defossilized Chemical Production in the United States
Zachary Byrum
Abstract:This paper discusses the benefits and opportunities of producing chemicals using feedstocks and energy carriers that are not fossil fuels—an emission reduction pathway referred to as chemical defossilization. The analysis finds that the U.S. chemical industry has great potential to procure sufficient non-fossil feedstocks to produce bulk chemicals, with some regional advantages. It proposes technologies that could catalyze growth of fossil-free supply chains, estimates volumes of non-fossil feedstocks needed t… Show more
