It is transformed into the #physical #fabric of #modern #life: #plastics, #polymers, #fertilisers, #adhesives, #solvents & #synthetic #textiles... The #chemical #industry is the upstream #engine of many modern #materials, using about 14% of global #oil #demand & 8% of global #gas demand. Much of that is used as a raw #material rather than #fuel."
