      Recently, the Bloomberg NEF Institute (BNEF) released the report "Decarbonization of the Petrochemical Industry: A Path to Net Zero Emissions"
    .
    According to the report, the global petrochemical industry will need to invest $759 billion by 2050 if it is to achieve net zero emissions

    .

      The report states that electrification and carbon capture and storage (CCS) will play a central role in reducing emissions from high-value chemical (HVC) production
    .
    HVC production accounts for 2% of global emissions, equivalent to the aviation industry's emissions and twice as much as the aluminum industry

    .
    The report also outlines a low-emission chemical emissions reduction pathway and describes how emissions can be reduced to net zero by achieving reductions in CCS and electrification costs, even as total production grows significantly

    .

      BNEF estimates that new clean capacity and low-emission retrofits will increase investment in the petrochemical industry by $759 billion compared to normal capacity growth
    .
    This is equivalent to 0.
    5% of the $172 trillion investment needed to decarbonize the global energy sector by 2050

    .
    Decarbonizing chemicals will be a capital expenditure-intensive industry, but for all new capacity and retrofits beyond 2030, achieving net zero is critical
