Reducing the use of fossil carbon and the output of greenhouse gas emissions are undoubtedly among the greatest challenges for society and industry in this century. The U.S. Administration, via the Inflation Reduction Act, is putting forward regulatory measures calling for more sustainable solutions that contribute to climate neutrality, the circular economy, and the use of hazard-free substances.
