The World Economic Forum announces recently the publication of its annual Top 10 Emerging Technologies Report featuring technologies with the greatest potential to make a positive impact in the world in the next three to five years.
“Organizations make better choices when they understand the factors shaping the future. The report identifies technologies poised to significantly influence societies and economies,” said Jeremy Jurgens, Managing Director, World Economic Forum and Head of the Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
“It also spotlights technologies with immense potential for revolutionizing connectivity, addressing the urgent challenges of climate change and driving innovation across various fields.”
“Drawing on the expertise of Frontiers’ Chief Field Editors worldwide brings our shared commitment to transformative science into clear focus, bringing insight and clarity to breakthrough technology that has the ability to change societies, economies, and lives for the better,” said Frederick Fenter, Chief Executive Editor, Frontiers.

Oil, Gas Industry Embraces Circular Economy to Combat Plastic Pollution: GlobalData
The circular economy involves recycling, reusing, and repurposing of products to extend their usable lifetime. Among the oil and gas industry’s conventional products, plastic is the most relevant to the circular economy.
Increasing demand for circular economy solutions in the oil and gas industry, especially regarding plastics, presents several long-term opportunities for companies.
Companies can invest in the production of circular polymers, thereby making it easier to recycle plastics. Moreover, there is a considerable scope to increase their recycling capacities, allowing them to fulfil ESG goals by reducing virgin plastic production, says GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.
GlobalData’s thematic report, “Circular Economy in Oil and Gas,” discusses the need for circular economy in the oil and gas industry to address plastic pollution.
It also highlights the role of major oil and gas companies, such as ExxonMobil, Shell, and TotalEnergies, in their efforts to establish circular economy for plastic as a commodity.
