As we move to decarbonize our energy landscape, not only must we develop viable fuels for the future, but we must also re-envision our chemical industry and economy. The bulk carbon-based chemicals from which we make medicines, detergents, paints, plastics, fibers, fabrics, and almost everything we use on a daily basis, are derived today from petroleum. New pathways from new sources to the chemicals and liquid fuels that we depend on must be developed to successfully transition to a sustainable future. Strategies and reactions to make better use of natural gas reserves and carbon dioxide will be discussed.<br/>
