This month's Horizons Live examines whether synthetic fuels could be the key to unlocking growth in hydrogen.
The circular economy is a critical strategy for delivering a lower-emission, more sustainable economy. This Horizons highlights the paradigmatic shift that is required to make progress, and highlights three case studies that serve as examples of how we can initiate change.

In the recent Horizons Live session, our panel discussed carbon removals and how they will play a crucial role in achieving net zero.
Decision intelligence to simplify the complexity of emissions risk management. Available with Lens Upstream solutions.
We answer five key questions in this edition of Horizons. Where would the additional oil and gas supply come from? Could the supply chain cope? How much more upstream investment would be needed? How would cost inflation affect the price of oil and gas? And can the industry amend its disciplined approach?
The Democrats are expected to retain control of the US House of Representatives, but the Senate will be determined by upcoming run-offs in the state of Georgia. While the chemicals sector is expected to see few direct impacts, there are several themes that should be watched closely.
If the plastics value chain is to become more sustainable, the industry must focus on reducing the amount of mismanaged waste and recapturing as much of its value as possible. To do this, more investment must be allocated to chemical recycling technologies, according to Wood Mackenzie.
In order to achieve the scale needed to play a meaningful role, the bioplastics industry will require significant regulatory interventions from governments and substantial cost efficiencies as technologies mature and scale, according to Wood Mackenzie.
The plastics industry requires a paradigm shift towards an absolute decoupling of materials consumption from growth of the economy if it is to achieve sustainability targets, according to new research from Wood Mackenzie.
China’s purified terephthalic acid (PTA) producers have been using the futures market to price PTA in the spot market, hedge against risks and manage inventory.

Higher base chemicals demand and feedstock security for heavy naphtha are driving the development of a new wave of mega-integrated refinery and chemical sites in China. Private Chinese chemical producers, including Hengli and Rong Sheng, are back-integrating their chemical plants with refineries by building mega-integrated facilities. Wood Mackenzie expects these projects to come on stream in the next 12 to 24 months.
