The transition to a greener economy, less petroleum‐based and environmentally sustainable, represents a key challenge facing leaders in the 21st century and, nowadays, thousands of opportunities arise from that emerging trend:

• Environmental laws provide strong incentives for green chemistry, aimed at developing processes and products that prevent pollution and are inherently safe for humans and the environment;
• Biofuels and liquid synthetic fuels from Gas‐to‐Liquids (GTL) technologies may substitute usual gasoline and diesel;
• Amid growing concerns towards plastic wastes, companies are striving to use reusable, recyclable, or compostable plastic packagings;
• Several countries have goals for their own renewable energy futures, and are enacting a far‐reaching array of policies to meet those goals;
• Despite its great potential, the market is still full of uncertainty. Major factors affecting the industry’s profitability ‐ feedstock costs, regulation, and technologies ‐ are in flux.
