The industrial sector represents approximately 24% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Industrial decarbonisation is key to achieve the goals set in the Paris Agreement which means transitioning away from fossil fuels. Industry electrification, along with the deployment of renewable energy and other energy vectors will enable this process. Particularly, vectors such as renewable hydrogen and related products (Methanol, Ammonia, SAF) and biogas, together with other storage technologies, will become essential for the decarbonisation of energy-intensive industries as well as hard-to-abate sectors, which are embedded in many strategic value chains for competitiveness. Decarbonisation lies at the core of new industrial policies aligned with a sustainable development, a circular economy and economic growth.

Objectives:

  • This session will explore the opportunities for industrial decarbonisation through electrification, renewable hydrogen and energy storage.
  • These technologies are instrumental both for supporting a clean and fair energy transition and in fostering economic growth. Additionally, these technologies contribute to affordable energy prices, attracting investment and boosting competitiveness.
