There is no net zero without industries; the deep decarbonization of six industrial sectors responsible for 80% of industrial emissions is necessary.
Demand for industrial products is expected to grow significantly by 2050; significant demand-side efficiency gains must be realized to optimize production volumes.
Future demand for materials and energy depends on the pace of transformation in the transportation, buildings, agriculture, industries and power sectors.
Low-emission production technologies are emerging and can sharply reduce industries' emission intensity.
Improving energy efficiency and adopting low-carbon energy sources can help companies reduce emissions.
Besides aluminium, all sectors remain far from the emission intensity level required to align with the 2030 milestones of the IEA Net Zero by 2050 Scenario.
