Title of the initiative: Digital Technologies for Sustainability in the European Chemical Industry. Cefic and A.D. Little have recently released the study “Digital Technologies for Sustainability in the European Chemical Industry”. This study is a fundamental preliminary tool that can facilitate the deployment of reliable digital infrastructure (action 21.1) and technologies that can help improve chemical manufacturing processes (action 21.2). It takes a closer look at concrete examples of how digital  technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), digital twins, robotics and  automation, blockchain, data sharing mechanisms, supercomputing and quantum computing, can play a  significant role in achieving sustainability goals in the chemical sector.  Moreover, the study identifies the most prominent sustainability-related areas in the chemical sector where implementation of digital technologies is expected to have a major impact, and considers a number of challenges that must be addressed to fully realise the potential of digital solutions. These include technological challenges such as data availability, interoperability, standardisation and cybersecurity as well as reluctance among companies to share data, financial costs, organisational issues, and a shortage  of digital skills in the workforce. The study brings forward a set of key recommendations for both the EU chemical industry and the EU institutions, which would ensure beneficial implementation of digital technologies in the chemical sector towards sustainable development.
