  • A data-driven accounting of key industries contributing greenhouse gas emissions.
  • The technological solutions that can help decarbonize European industry, now and in the future.
  • The policy instruments that can advance industry decarbonization.
  • A practical approach to implementing the measures needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from industry and achieve the EU’s climate goals.
