The World Economic Forum’s Net-Zero Industry Tracker 2022 highlights that heavy industries such as steel, cement, aluminum, and chemicals account for nearly 30% of global emissions, yet remain among the hardest to decarbonize. The report identifies key barriers—high abatement costs, limited clean energy supply, and fragmented policy support. It calls for coordinated action across three areas: scaling low-carbon technologies, enabling supportive regulation and carbon pricing, and mobilizing finance for green infrastructure. Case studies demonstrate pathways where public-private collaboration accelerates transition. By embedding net-zero strategies, industries can enhance resilience, competitiveness, and long-term sustainability.
