The industrial sector accounts for close to a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions. Efforts to decarbonize this sector are challenged by the need to address the fossil fuel-driven thermal processes and the raw materials used in manufacturing.
To avoid significant global disruption, scientists assert that global warming must be kept below a two-degree Celsius rise from preindustrial levels?a goal formalized in the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement. Meeting that challenge will require near-total decarbonization of global economic activity by 2060. The industrial sector accounts for close to a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions. Effort
