Phase 4: Industrial Decarbonisation
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.
This paper aims to bring clarity to an emerging field, highlighting the evolving landscape of industrial decarbonisation initiatives and the growing importance of clear definitions for effective communication and knowledge exchange among stakeholders.
This paper assesses the technical potential of emission and energy savings of the most important abatement options for a wide range of industrial sectors and in a consistent way.
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?
