Net-zero industry is possible,
but it means that by the end of this decade
all new & retrofit facilities globally must be clean
The industrial sector is a significant contributor to global GHG emissions, accounting for approximately 30% of total emissions. As such, achieving net zero emissions from industry is a crucial component in the effort to mitigate climate change and limit global warming. Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from industrial processes is accomplished by reducing emissions through increased efficiency, transitioning to renewable energy sources, and/or implementing carbon capture and storage technologies.
Many countries, companies, and organizations have set targets to achieve net zero emissions from industry by 2050 or earlier, and are investing in new technologies and infrastructure to make this goal a reality. Key strategies include electrification of industrial processes, development of low-carbon materials, and circular economy approaches that prioritize reuse and recycling of materials. The transition to a net zero industry will require significant collaboration between governments, industry leaders, and the public, as well as sustained investment in research and development.
