The document discusses the global challenges of meeting increasing demand for food and energy by 2050 given population growth. It argues that the chemical industry has an important role to play in providing sustainable solutions through continued integration of scientific disciplines, diversification of ideas, and collaboration. DuPont's approach involves applying integrated science to develop innovations that can help address issues like more efficient energy use and a cleaner energy supply through technologies for areas like biofuels, wind power, and solar energy.

3. Population growth will bring challenges
Demand for energy is projected to
rise by 40%
By 2050, the global population will grow by 2 billion people:
Demand for food is projected to grow
by 70%
We must meet these demands while
sustainably protecting people and the
environment

8. DuPont’s approach: applying science to develop
solutions to global challenges
• Science-based innovations will help make our
consumption of valuable energy resources more
efficient
• A more reliable, increasingly clean energy supply
must be built on innovative technology applied to
local conditions
• An energy solution is truly sustainable only when it
is economically feasible as well as
environmentally sound
• The development of viable clean energy
technologies requires collaboration between
scientists, and the policy, community and private
sectors
