About Molecule Group
Sustainable fuels, chemicals, and materials only scale if policy keeps pace. Molecule Group makes sure it does.
Molecule Group is a policy firm and industry convener focused on accelerating the deployment of sustainable fuels, chemicals, and materials across global markets.
In an increasingly complex policy landscape, Molecule Group fills a critical gap by providing a cross-technology, cross-border platform for advancing policy alignment on sustainable molecules.
Others separate molecules by end use, domestic needs from international perspectives, or climate ambition from commercial feasibility. Molecule Group brings those conversations together—across sectors, across borders, and across value chains.
As an industry convener, Molecule Group unites a broad coalition of stakeholders, including companies, trade associations, academic researchers, NGOs, think tanks, and government representatives.
OUR TEAM

A Platform for Global Collaboration
Through targeted workstreams, we aim to support the policy and market transformations necessary to grow sustainable molecules globally—in line with international climate and energy dialogues at the International Energy Agency (IEA), Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM), UNFCCC (COP), and other meetings of world leaders and decisions makers like G7 and G20.
Each Molecule Group workstream creates space for structured, technical collaboration on key policy opportunities and eliminating market barriers. The goal is not only to support political ambition but also to define practical next steps for building trusted, credible, and scalable markets for sustainable fuels, chemicals, and materials.
Molecule Group’s 2026 workstreams are designed to catalyze collective action, inform policymaking, and build a durable foundation for sustainable molecules in the global economy.
