October 31, 2024--Written by Paul Wiseman for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--In the Chemical Processing Industry alone, Industrial Info was tracking $86 billion in chemical projects planned to begin construction during 2024, of which a majority were "green" or "blue" in the U. S. and Canada, said Trey Hamblet, senior vice president of research operations for Industrial Info. Hamblet led off Industrial Info's 2025 North American Outlook presentation in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on October 24. Green defines projects that are considered to have no greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at all, while blue includes those that emit GHGs that are remediated by carbon capture and storage (CCS).
