The Ecological Modernization of the Chemical Industry

Zusammenfassung: In this book key predictors of renewable feedstock adoption to achieve carbon neutrality in the European chemical industry are explored. Systematic data collection for the analysis was conducted through semi-structured expert interviews and document analysis, validating existing theories, including agent-based models of innovation diffusion, the multi-level perspective of socio-technical transition and technological innovation systems. The research findings led to insights on the key predictors of renewable resource adoption and support practitioners to manage the transition to carbon neutrality.
