Into the Deep End: Tackling Deep Decarbonization in Heavy Industry 

Heavy industry plays a pivotal role in addressing the global climate challenge. As one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions, following power generation and transport, it is responsible for both indirect emissions from high energy use and direct emissions from industrial processes. These emissions are deeply embedded in the production of essential commodities such as steel, aluminum, and cement.

Decarbonizing this sector requires more than a shift to clean energy. It calls for a fundamental transformation of production methods, including changes to high-temperature processes, fuel inputs, and the technologies used across the value chain. Achieving deep decarbonization means evaluating a complex mix of pathways such as hydrogen, carbon capture, electrification, and circular feedstocks. Each option must be considered in light of cost, policy support, technological maturity, and long-term risk.

In this webinar, we explored the practical and strategic challenges involved in reducing emissions from heavy industry. We looked at how system modelling and scenario analysis can support better decision-making in this complex environment, where trade-offs between cost, carbon, and operational feasibility must be carefully balanced.

Using green steel as a case study, we examined how energy and infrastructure modelling tools can help assess long-term investment strategies, evaluate alternative production configurations, and plan under policy and market uncertainty. These approaches are critical for identifying scalable and economically viable pathways to industrial decarbonization. The webinar covers:  

• Understand the sources and scale of emissions in heavy industry, including direct and indirect contributors.
• Learn what “deep decarbonization” means in the context of materials like steel, cement, and aluminium.
• Explore emerging technologies and production pathways, from hydrogen and carbon capture to electrified heat and circular inputs.
• See how system modelling and scenario analysis can help navigate complexity and guide strategic investment planning.
• Gain insight into how these tools apply in real-world industrial contexts, with a focus on green steel.
