C-MACC Sunday Thematic & Weekly Recap 93
The New Stuff – Driven By Sustainability or High Prices?
- Many new product/venture announcements are hiding behind sustainability and ESG claims but may need continued high prices for alternatives to be viable.
- Historically, commodity price peaks encouraged high-cost ideas that turned unprofitable when prices fell to more normal levels – this may be happening again
- Expectations are high that customers will pay for a better sustainability label, but questions remain about how much they will pay and for how long
- Carbon values and carbon capture are in focus, following COP26. We discuss the implication for relative costs and the growing importance of valid price points.
- Otherwise, we look at energy shortages and weakening US chemical prices.
Last week we discussed 23 Chemicals and related products and 114 Companies.
