The Future of Petrochemicals
Towards a more sustainable chemical industry
Materials are the building blocks of society, making up the infrastructure, equipment and goods that enable people and businesses to go about their daily routines. Energy is critical to the production of materials. As the global economy and population grow, so does demand for materials, increasing the importance of understanding which technologies and strategies can support the sustainable manufacture, use and disposal of these indispensable commodities.

The IETS TCP focuses on energy use in a broad range of industry sectors with significant potential for emissions and cost savings. The IETS TCP work programme ranges from aspects relating to development of processes and energy technologies, to overall system analysis and energy efficiency in industry sectors.
Through multi-disciplinary international collaborative research and knowledge exchange, as well as market and policy recommendations, the SHC TCP works to increase the deployment rate of solar heating and cooling systems by breaking down the technical and non-technical barriers to increase deployment.
The SolarPACES TCP supports collaboration to advance development and deployment of concentrating solar thermal technologies. From a system perspective, concentrating solar power (CSP) offers significant advantages. With built-in thermal storage, CSP can improve the flexibility and stability of power systems, provide dispatchable electricity and help integrating more variable renewables.
