Silicones and EU Policy Goals

Twin
transition

The twin transition to a green and digital European Economy is central to the EU’s policy goals. Low-carbon and energy efficient technologies and innovative digital solutions would be key enablers of EU’s independence. The chemicals industry – including silicones – plays a crucial role in the functioning and development of key technologies, contributing to the EU’s strategic autonomy ambitions.
