Chimica, emissioni ridotte oltre gli obiettivi Ue al 2030

The Italian chemical industry has significantly outperformed the European Union's emission reduction targets by 2030, according to the 32nd Responsible Care Federation report presented in Rimini. Since 1990, the chemical industry has reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 73%, and is actively developing circular economic models. In 2024, emissions in Italy amounted to 8.4 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent, representing 2.5% of the national total.

When considering direct and indirect emissions, the chemical industry has reduced its climate change impact by 74%. The industry's commitment and achievements are crucial for improving environmental impact, as emphasized by Federchimica president Francesco Buzzella, who stated that "the transition cannot be done without industry and is impossible without chemistry."

The chemical industry's involvement is essential for enhancing environmental impact, as highlighted by Fabio Viola, president of the Responsible Care Program Federchimica, who noted that in 2025, Italian chemical industry generated a production value of 60 billion euros, with 90.8% (54.4 billion euros) being distributed to stakeholders as purchases of goods and services, personnel expenses, and taxes paid to public administration.
