Watch "<h3>BNEF Talk: Navigating Sustainable Plastics’ Choppy Waters</h3> The plastics industry is at a pivotal moment. By 2050, demand for petrochemicals is expected to more than double, reaching over 900 million metric tons annually. At the same time, producers are facing mounting pressure to supply millions of tons of sustainable plastics by 2030 to meet their circular economy goals and targets. What will be the success strategies for producers on this journey? What are the lucrative opportunities they can grasp along the way? Kirti Vasta, Senior Associate, Circular Economy, BloombergNEF"

Watch "<h3>BNEF Talk: Five Unsung Heroes of Industrial Decarbonization</h3> The roles of hydrogen, carbon capture and government subsidies in decarbonizing industry are well established. But it will take much more than this to get industry to net-zero. This talk highlights the importance of five other elements of the process: electrification, retrofits, biomass, infrastructure and private sector demand. Julia Attwood, Sustainable Materials Specialist, BloombergNEF"

Watch "<h3>BNEF Debate: Europe’s Industrial Shake-Up: Shot in the Arm or Kick in the Teeth?</h3> The EU is poised to cut industrial emissions faster than most. That could present an advantage as European companies take the lead. Yet decarbonizing first is costly: a tricky proposition with local producers already struggling to remain competitive. This debate will present both arguments with nothing less than Europe's industrial future in the balance. Allen Tom Abraham, Head of Sustainable Materials, BloombergNEF Antoine Vagneur-Jones, Head of Trade and Supply Chains, BloombergNEF"

Watch "<h3>The Next Decade of Clean Industry Manufacturing: Does Europe Need to Become More Protectionist?</h3> Emerging policy suggestions, such as import tariffs and domestic content targets, indicate the European Union could be leaning towards a more protectionist stance when it comes to clean industry manufacturing. Will the bloc actually roll out such protectionist measures, and would these policies help the domestic clean energy and electric vehicle sectors flourish? Who is likely to build these factories?
