Key Points:

- We highlight pertinent energy, chemical, and other corporate updates (e.g., Neste, Lucid Energy, Trinseo, Aramco, Petrobras, Solvay, BASF, & others).
- We note relevant ESG items, ranging from Europe carbon price trends to start 2022 to several renewable industry investment trends. We also highlight our weekly ESG thematic published later today in LINK.
- We discuss numerous other pertinent chemical sector items in this report.
