This theme will explore future industry decarbonisation strategies, through detailed analyses of technologies, product outputs, and trade patterns.
Building on previous research, the theme takes a whole-systems approach to industrial energy use that goes beyond the major energy intensive sectors. It will explore how the availability of future infrastructure – such as hydrogen networks or carbon dioxide pipelines – could impact the cost of emissions reduction pathways for key industrial sectors.
Industry produces a third of global greenhouse gas emissions and needs to be decarbonised as countries strive for net zero. But how might the costs of this be met and what effect might the options have on businesses and consumers?
This paper takes a mixed methods approach to provide the first analysis of the issues facing dispersed industrial sites on their route to decarbonisation and to suggest solutions to the challenges they face.
