As the global demand for alternative and renewable fuels rises due to increasing traditional resource costs and an increasingly environmentally conscious economy, leaders within the alternative gas industry aim to capitalise through sales and market expansion.
The industry is poised to receive a significant boost both from the private and public sectors as the demand for renewable gases and more efficient energies increases. The alternative/major chemical companies in focus with current and recent developments include: The Chemours Company, Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., Gevo, Inc. and Platform Specialty Products Corporation.
The Chemours Company closed up on Wednesday 4 January 2017 at US$22.21 trading over 34.7 million shares by the market close. The Chemours Company provides performance chemicals in North America, the Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.
