Industrial Decarbonization
Production of industrial materials contribute to over a third of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Reconciling the growth of industrial output with global climate ambitions remains one of our toughest challenges.
CPI leverages its expertise across sectors, actors, and geographies to support industrial decarbonization, including work to develop a roadmap for financing industrial decarbonization and policy interventions that best enable the development and deployment of low-carbon technologies required for long-term decarbonization of the largest emitting industrial sectors.
