Summary

Chemical industries must in the near future change their general basic raw materials from fossil carbon sources to renewables according to political decisions in most of the world. This is following concern over the use of raw materials that increase the concentration of green house gases like CO2 in the atmosphere. This calls for a new inventory of raw materials and extensive changes in the manufacturing process of many common chemicals. Chemical Product Design is a systematic procedure for inventing new ways of making chemical products and, in this chapter, we shall go through a number of cases where a radical new way of concepting chemicals and manufacturing processes is exemplified.
