The path to industrial decarbonization
Progress in de-carbonising industrial activity has been slow relative to other high-emitting sectors in the economy. Nonetheless, recent studies show that the technological potential to electrify is high across most manufacturing processes. Where electrification is not technologically feasible, low-carbon hydrogen may be a viable de-carbonisation tool. In this webinar, we assess which industrial sectors are likely to electrify, and which may need to look to alternatives, in order to de-carbonise. We will also consider some of the factors hampering the pace of the energy transition in industry.
