Technical Carbon

Technical Carbon – Universal Challenge.

The race towards net-zero carbon emissions is impacting businesses across the globe. Many of the changes this brings are welcome and positive. But there are other, unexpected challenges that will take experience and expertise to overcome.

From the lithium-ion batteries powering our sustainable future, to printing inks, insulation materials, and the rubber for safe and reliable vehicle tyres – technical carbon is a vital component for many of life’s essentials. But as regulators push for further reductions in the use of fossil fuels and industries embrace new ways of working, the supply of raw materials for many of these important products is under threat.

As the pace of change accelerates, understanding the shifting regulatory and commercial environment and developing the strategies required to adapt and thrive has never been more pressing.
