The chemical industry shows its most innovative ideas for a more sustainable future entrepreneurship, a trunk subject of the future at the university

By 2050, Europe wants to become the first climate continent.For two decades before, 2030, the UN has set a new sustainable development agenda that covers from the end of extreme poverty to the combat of climate change.And to achieve these objectives, the chemical industry points out, disruptive solutions will be necessary.New technologies, materials and forms of production that are already in development and some of which can be known throughout this week at the Smart Chemistry Smart Future forum, included within the Hall of Chemistry, Expochimia, which today starts in Barcelona.

The chemistry claims in this exhibition, organized by the Business Federation of the Spanish Chemical Industry (FEIQUE), its research and innovation work to advance in the achievement of these objectives.The sector leads the investment in R & D+i of the entire industry, an area to which 1 allocates.038 million annually (excluded purchases) and where it also leads the hiring of private sector researchers, since 1 out of 5 are hired by the chemical industry.This commitment to innovation "is located as an indispensable vector to offer, on the one hand, sustainable solutions to other sectors, and on the other, to improve their own processes and be an even more efficient, productive and safe industry".

Thus, they stand out from FEIQUE, chemicals already work on technologies and materials in the field of energy transition to improve the efficiency of renewable energy, advanced systems for energy storage, solutions to boost the economy of green hydrogen or chemical processes with casualtiesor null emissions;Without forgetting the materials for 3D printing or new clean fuels for sustainable mobility.

In the field of circular economy, which advances parallel to decarbonization, the chemical industry is developing technologies capable of converting residues into substances of high added value.This is the case of the chemical recycling technologies of plastic waste, which allows a large part of them to end up incinerated or the landfill.It also advances in capture and use CO2 as raw material for numerous applications and technologies for bioeconomy and bioproducts.All complemented with the digitalization of the sector, essential for these innovations to reach their full potential.

WELCOME TO 2030

Part of that work will be shown in an exclusive exhibition, as well as an extensive program of events and events until Friday 17.The WELCOME TO 2030 exhibition will reveal 20 leading innovations in which the chemical industry is currently working in four action spaces: circular economy, energy transition and climate change, health and food, and digitalization and industry 4.0 (Smart Digital Solutions).

Circular economy: In this area of exposure, solutions focused on promoting the efficient use of resources through alternative raw materials (included those of biological origin), the development of bioproducts and the reuse, recycling and valorization of wasteDuring the value chain:

Health and food: Oriented to overcome the challenge of guaranteeing access to food and health for all, it will group new agricultural production methodologies, the use of intelligent and personalized medicine so that we live more and better, in addition to the management and reduction of lossand food waste.Here they will be exhibited:

Energy transition and climate change: Chemistry provides materials and applications that allow increasing energy efficiency and savings in multiple applications ranging from industrial processes to buildings isolation or sustainable mobility in cities.Under this premise, this section of the exhibition will host innovations to move towards a low carbon economy:

Digitization and Industry 4.0 (Smart Digital Solutions): Exhibition area designed to show how the connected industry allows production with greater customization and also more sustainable and intelligent, through more purified and controlled production processes.Smart factories, 3D printing, IoT or Big Data, are fundamental aspects that are transforming the way of producing:

Feique collects that future commitment in the Welcomome To 2030 publication, which will be presented during the event and "that collects a panoramic view of the main technologies and disruptive processes that the chemical sector is developing, as well as the keys and challenges that make thisindustry is a fundamental part of the road to a sustainable future ".

On the other hand, professionals and experts of recognized prestige of the main companies and organizations of the sector will explain the latest research and trends that are being developed in the industrial field of chemistry through a wide program that will include 25 smartt@lks.
