Unlocking the Potential of a Net-Zero Industrial Future

With the EU implementing legally binding measures to cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030—far exceeding the non-binding targets of the US and China—industries must act decisively. Hard-to-abate sectors, responsible for over 30% of global CO₂ emissions, face urgent co-investment needs to overcome legacy constraints and sustain their market position.

These industries grapple with challenges such as high-temperature processes, carbon-intensive feedstocks, and operations that are difficult to electrify. Achieving decarbonisation demands breakthrough clean technologies, alternative materials, and supportive transition policies. Success will depend on knowledge-sharing, optimising value chains, adapting long asset lifecycles, and making strategic capital investments to maximise returns.

Reuters Events: Industrial Decarbonisation Europe 2025 (April 9-10, Amsterdam) will bring together 250+ senior executives from metals and mining, cement, fuels and chemicals, logistics, and heavy-duty transport to tackle these challenges head-on. Join industry leaders to explore how AI and cross-sector collaboration can enhance ROI, drive resource efficiency, and position climate action as a catalyst for a competitive, net-zero industrial economy.
