Chemical Manufacturing

I think the chemical industry needs to focus on Energy Storage solutions, like Batteries, and perhaps direct electrochemical solutions like Bio-conversion of corn into electricity with acids or something fabulous like that.

I agree, but I would suggest that rather than using corn or other foodstuff for bioconversion the emphasis should be on weeds (like dandelions, kudzu, etc.) or unusable crops.

Consideration should also be given to the amount of energy saved by Chemical Industry products, instead of the energy used.

This site gives the ratio between energy use and energy saved by the product and is interesting reading, especially as the Chemical Industry is an easy target for the "industry bashers".

I wonder how well the "greens" will take these figures?

Environment - in an industry is not only for the working area, it also affect the surroundings, its our duty to adopt the best practices to lead green. For environmental aspects energy saving and mainly waste reprocessing should be incorporated in the industry. The norms for waste disposal shall be followed that are being done at mine place.
