Recently, GC jointly invested in ECONIC, developer of catalyst technologies for carbon-to-value creation for sustainable polymer production from CO2 with its advanced Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) innovation which will support GC to achieve the Net Zero target by 2050.
BANGKOK , Sept. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- GC Ventures Company Limited (GC Ventures), a subsidiary of PTT Global Chemical Public Company Limited (GC), became one of the investors in Econic Technologies (Econic), a British company using advanced technology to recycle carbon dioxide for use as a raw material in polymer production. Econic develops catalyst technologies to convert captured CO2 efficiently back into a raw material that can then be used in the manufacturing of essential products for the polyurethane industry, including insulation and structural foams, protective coatings, sealants, and adhesives. This successful fundraising and round of investment closed with a total of £10.4 million raised from investors and companies worldwide which will enable Econic to continue with its commercial production and process technology development.
Dr. Kongkrapan Intarajang, Chief Executive Officer and President of PTT Global Chemical Public Company Limited, or GC, said that as a leading global chemical company, GC foresees this investment as key in supporting the GC Group's Net Zero goals by integrating green innovation with advanced technology. Econic's technology enables the recycling of captured carbon dioxide for use as feedstock in the production of polymers to help reduce carbon emissions. This is directly in line with GC's strategic direction and target for a 20% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and the achievement of Net Zero by 2050 via our three-pillar low carbon transition framework as follows: "Efficiency-driven," maximizing production efficiency throughout all processes and across all assets; "Portfolio-driven" with long-term business restructuring and portfolio expansion while integrating the circular economy principles; and "Compensation-driven" with offsetting and carbon capture through multiple approaches, the setting of goals for the planting and restoration of large-scale forests at the national level, and participation in projects studying the application of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology, providing access to new carbon capture technologies in the future. All of these are important factors that will allow GC to achieve our ambitious target of becoming a Net Zero company.
GC has already planned decarbonization investments up to $1 billion by 2030 and even more in the next decade in order to meet its goal of achieving Net Zero target by 2050 with long-term sustainable business growth.
GC expects the shift toward Net Zero will continue to benefit its customers as its portfolio management focuses on improving quality of life and creating positive lifestyle changes, including continued care for the earth with products beneficial to society and the environment, aligning with its "Chemistry for Better Living" concept.

As we close in on the final quarter of 2022, investors are looking for an answer to one question: was June’s low the bottom for stocks, or do they have more room to fall? It’s a serious question, and there may be no easy answer. Markets are facing a series of headwinds, from the high inflation and rising interest rates that we’ve grown familiar with to an increasingly strong dollar that will put pressure on the upcoming Q3 earnings. Weighing in on current conditions from Charles Schwab, the $8 t

The S&P 500 is on again, off again all year. But investors clearly have a "buy list" of stocks they want to own when the rally looks real.
A strong bearish trend defined the markets in the first half of the year; since then, the key point has been volatility. Stocks hit a bottom back in June, when the S&P 500 dropped into the 3,600s. That has proven to be a support level in the last two months, and at least one strategist believes that the market won’t be testing those lows again this year. JPMorgan's Jason Hunter believes that inflation may have peaked, and that the upcoming CPI report will provide additional evidence of that. “We

Nio (NYSE: NIO) reported increasing losses in its second-quarter earnings report this week, but investors are shrugging that off, sending shares soaring Friday morning. Although its profit margins have been on a downward trend, new models being launched could turn that around in the coming years. Consumer prices in China increased at a slower pace than many expected in August, and producer inflation sank to the lowest level since February 2021, reports Reuters.
The Dow Jones jumped as the rally gained strength. Tesla stock surged as Elon Musk eyed a new move. A Warren Buffett stock impressed.
AT&T income-hungry shareholders should have seen it coming. In April last year, a month before announcing the spinoff of its media division to shareholders in the form of shares of a 71% stake in the newly created Warner Bros. Discovery Chief Executive Officer John Stankey assured investors that “our deliberate capital-allocation plan allowed us to invest and sustain our dividend at current levels, which we believe is attractive.” AT&T’s eventual failure to raise the dividend in 2021 broke a 34-year streak and saw it booted out of the vaunted S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Index.
