Chemistry without Petroleum

Abstract

The chemical industry can give up petroleum. Within a short or long time, German chemical concerns can become green. Many innovative methods are drawing up the utilization of vegetable materials in order to manufacture from that the basic chemicals. What to do when nature turns the stopcock. When the source of oil ceases to exist and established raw materials for cosmetic synthetic materials, manures, colours go out of industry? About 90% of chemical products are then affected. These consist of carbon which originates mostly from petroleum or natural gas and coal. All these fossil sources are not sustainable or everlasting.
