Partnerships to advance the decarbonisation of heavy emitting sectors

According to the World Economic Forum, heavy industry accounts for one-third of global energy use and one-quarter of global GHG emissions. Steel, cement and chemicals are the three highest emitters and amongst the most difficult to decarbonise, due to both technical and economic factors. Close collaboration among producers, technology providers and users can open new decarbonisation solutions and potentially enable cost savings that are challenging to achieve. Favourable government policies also have a role to play in unlocking viable path to decarbonisation solutions.
