Session Overview
Thursday, 7 November
11:00
Decarbonisation Conference Decarbonisation Theatre 11:00 - 11:45
Decarbonising heavy-emitting industry operations

According to IEA, the demand for heavy industry products is expected to rise given the requirements for constructing and maintaining nuclear power plants, wind turbines, and other clean energy infrastructure. Accounting for at least 70% of industrial emissions per year, heavy industry sectors must work pragmatically towards decarbonising their operations and operational excellence. Challenges and potential bottlenecks include retiring or retrofitting long-lived plant assets, electrifying inherent industrial production methods where possible, innovating solutions for high emissions and high heat intensity processes, and scaling emerging and new technologies for commercial viability. Significant investment and coordinated policy support will be required to activate significant and timely progress toward decarbonisation.

Attendee insights:

Hear from industry leaders’ perspectives on operational requirements and challenges towards decarbonising heavy industry operations and the strategies needed to address them.
