The session, led by CATF's Ghassan Wakim, examined the structural pressures facing the EU chemicals sector, including underinvestment and increasing global competition, while also addressing its position as both a major source of industrial emissions and one of the hardest sectors to decarbonise. The webinar aimed to give a foundational primer for stakeholders seeking to understand the technical and economic basis of the sector before engaging with decarbonisation policy discussions.

A recording of the session is publicly available.
