In a ground-breaking initiative, Chemical Week (CW) and lead
sponsor SRI Consulting (SRIC) today unveiled
www.chemsustainability.com, a new web presence providing authoritative
information on sustainability and greenhouse gas issues for the
chemical industry.
It is the first purpose-built resource for chemical industry
leaders informing them of the latest data, trends, market information,
innovations, and business news relating to chemicals and the
environment.
This new site combines news analysis expertise from Chemical Week,
with the market and engineering perspectives of SRI Consulting, to
provide a repository for hard-to-find data and commentary on
environmental issues.
Alex Scott, Executive Editor/Web and Environment at Chemical Week
says, "Awareness of environmental sustainability, now more than ever,
is a key element to the success of any chemical business. Political
and public pressure for greener products and production places the
chemical industry at the heart of the sustainability debate.
www.chemsustainability.com enables industry executives to keep abreast
of the rapid changes associated with the present issues by providing
clear news, market information, and best practice models when it comes
to chemicals and the environment." Mr. Scott continued, "It is
Chemical Week´s responsibility as the most influential chemical media
resource to provide concise coverage on sustainability to our
worldwide audience of chemical executives."
The launch of the www.chemsustainability.com micro-site features
news and information, Q&A with Dr. Geoff Leaver from environmental
advisory body Envirowise, daily listing of carbon prices, and white
papers and abstracts on biofuels & bio-materials, climate change,
emissions trading, clean energy technologies, water and energy
efficiency. www.chemsustainability.com also features a series of
articles on new innovations in green chemistry, adding new dimension
to the existing www.chemweek.com site, which offers 24/7 news analysis
for chemical industry executives.
Commenting on SRIC´s sponsorship of the micro-site, Russell
Heinen, Vice President at SRIC said, "The Process Economics Program
(PEP) at SRI Consulting has been publishing reports on sustainability
in the chemical and energy industries for over 10 years. During that
time, we have developed unique perspectives on the fundamental issues
involved in sustainability, and an unparalleled database on greenhouse
gas emissions from chemical plants." Mr. Heinen continued, "Our PEP
reports, now joined by our Safe & Sustainable Chemical Series reports
and Greenhouse Gases Initiative hit the environmental issues head on,
providing analysis of the underlying trends and helping businesses
stay competitive for the long term in this period of changing
information needs."
