Abstract

This chapter explores the industrial processes sector, presenting its pivotal role in global decarbonisation efforts. Central to this chapter is an analysis of carbon emissions within the industrial processes sector, tracing its historical trajectory, current status, and future forecasts. This chapter underlines the imperative and potential implications of decarbonisation for mitigating climate change. In exploring decarbonisation strategies and applications, the chapter overviews various approaches, from technological innovations to policy interventions. The chapter further overviews the role of key players and stakeholders in driving decarbonisation efforts within the industrial processes sector. From governmental bodies to grassroots organisations, each entity’s contributions and commitments to decarbonisation are examined, alongside the importance of social interactions and community involvement in fostering sustainable practices. The discourse also addresses the challenges and barriers hindering effective implementation, underscoring the need for collaborative action and systemic changes. Finally, the chapter highlights 50 notable business cases from 15 countries within the industrial processes sector, showcasing exemplary initiatives to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable land use practices.
