Industry accounts for roughly 30% of global CO2 emissions and as demand for products, including steel, cement, chemicals and precious metals, is set to increase, industrial actors will have to cut emissions sharply in order to achieve the 1.5-degree scenario.

Technologies including hydrogen, electrification, biomass and digitalisation will be critical to transitioning heavy industry. Whilst it is clear that the responsibility to decarbonise industry lies with both the public and private sectors and the funding will have to come from both, it is unclear who will act first.

The Industry Transition Summit is presented in 4 sessions over 2 days gathering over 1,000 investors, policy makers and business leaders to share key decarbonisation solutions for the hard to abate sectors and heavy industries with a view to enabling industrial decarbonisation over the next decade, one of the greatest challenges all developing and developed regions face.
