    Spotlight | Decarbonization: How quickly will it scale?
    Carbon Management/Decarbonization

    Decarbonizing the industrial sector is one of the most important areas of the energy transition, accounting for around a quarter of global energy-related emissions. Companies are investing in different technologies across different regions to cut emissions in the most cost-effective way possible. Each technology – carbon, capture, utilization and storage, clean hydrogen, electrification and others—has its own benefits and challenges to scaling up to the degree needed to reach decarbonization goals. What are the learnings so far? Will the suite of decarbonization technologies vary across regions? What is needed to accelerate the deployment of such projects globally?
