摘要
The chemical industry faces the challenge of moving from a predominantly cost-based model to one that integrates green and sustainable practices. This study seeks to understand the evolving priorities of decision-makers in this sector. Specifically, it is examined how they weigh the importance of four criteria: the importance of a renewable energy mix, the energy price, investments in production plants, and the uncertainty over political regulation, including both CO2 pricing and carbon leakage protection. By applying a choice-based conjoint analysis with 102 participants from the DACH region, comprising Germany (D), Austria (A), and Switzerland (CH) in the fall of 2022, different decision patterns were identified. While cost considerations continue to play a central role, sustainability aspects are becoming increasingly important in decision-making. The results shed light on the motivations guiding these decision-makers and reveal the first signs of sustainability considerations in decision-making in the chemical industry. Nevertheless, the influence of regulatory frameworks, especially mechanisms such as the EU Emissions Trading Scheme, plays a crucial role in these decisions. A deep understanding of these multi-layered decision-making processes is essential for designing effective climate policies.
