Description: "Identifying and designing new chemical processes that use renewable feedstock as raw materials and show how these processes can be integrated into existing chemical production complexes are key to having a sustainable chemical industry. Also, identifying and designing new industrial processes that use carbon dioxide as a raw material are an important option in mitigating the effects of global warming"--
