The article emphasizes the importance of industrial decarbonization as a shared responsibility that requires action from emitters, innovators, governments, and consumers. It highlights that while progress has been made in reducing emissions from electricity and transport, heavy industries remain a significant contributor to global emissions, posing a unique challenge as 'hard-to-abate' sectors. The need for innovative solutions that address energy-related and process emissions without hindering productivity is paramount in achieving decarbonization. Key strategies for industrial decarbonization include industrial electrification, energy efficiency improvements, fuel substitution, process decarbonization, and CCUS. The article also discusses challenges and opportunities in decarbonizing industries, stressing the need for tailored solutions for each sector. Unique cases like the paper and pulp industry and waste-to-energy sector showcase the potential of CCUS in making industries carbon negative, providing incentives for decarbonization initiatives.
