The International Council of Chemical Associations has developed a new report with the support of McKinsey & Company, Inc., “Innovations for Greenhouse Gas Reductions”, as a major tool to provide transparency on the chemical industry’s impact on Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission reductions. This report will be released on July 7th in Rome as a contribution to the G8 strategy that ranked climate change on the top of the agenda.

As a first step of its energy efficiency auditing programme, the CARE+ project has delivered its report on the related legislation in Bulgaria, Italy and Poland. This first step will enable the potential energy savings to be analysed, and thus the competitive advantage small & medium sized companies could gain with additional energy reduction measures.
