Over the past five years, the bio-based industry has suffered as a result of consistently low oil prices. Despite worldwide crude oil prices projected to remain around $60/barrel and $70/barrel, price volatility in the intermediate chemicals market and demand for more environmentally friendly products is driving continued interest in bio-based or renewable alternatives.

The Inflation Reduction Act puts the U.S. on a bumpy fast track to net-zero

On Friday, August 5, the U.S. Senate passed a new bill named the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The IRA is thus set to close two-thirds of the gap in reducing emissions between the current policy and the policy goal of reducing emissions by 50% by 2030. As effective as the IRA is to accelerate investments, it doesn’t do anything to address the energy transition as a system transition. That means the road ahead will be fast and bumpy.
