Abstract

Net zero presents a challenge and opportunity for the industrial sector, which has seen emissions growth over the past couple decades. The emissions intensiveness of industrial production combines with policy insularity and established vested interests to create an orientation toward status quo approaches. On the other hand, new company targets and emerging technologies create opportunities for industrial sector low-emissions transformation. This paper outlines the components of net-zero, science-based targets for industry that will play a central role in achieving climate stabilization.
