Accelerating the Shift to Circular and Low-carbon Feedstocks
The global chemical and materials manufacturing industry is at an inflection point. With increasing pressure to decarbonize operations, reduce waste, and embrace circularity, organizations are investing in advanced technologies that transform biomass, carbon dioxide (CO₂), and waste streams into viable feedstocks for chemicals and materials.
Frost & Sullivan’s latest TechVision Growth Perspectives study explores the innovation trends shaping this transition — helping R&D teams, sustainability leaders, and strategic planners stay ahead.
As per our analysis, at present:
-
Feedstock flexibility is becoming essential: Technologies like ionic gasification and hydrothermal liquefaction are enabling cleaner, scalable feedstock conversion.
-
Electrification is driving decarbonization: Electric crackers and other e-driven platforms are reducing CO₂ emissions across chemical production cycles.
-
Digital tools are unlocking process optimization: AI/machine learning (ML) and simulation models are enabling real-time process control, faster scale-up, and reduced R&D costs.
-
Companies are moving from concept to action: Circular Systems, Compact Syngas Solutions, and Lixea are already commercializing innovative feedstock technologies.
