The development of zero-emission industrial processes is identified as one of the key priorities of the Net Zero Game Changers initiative, addressing the significant emissions from the industrial sector.
Transitioning heavy manufacturing and industry away from fossil fuels to renewable energy is the overarching goal.
The podcast episodes discuss various pathways, technologies, and policies for decarbonizing the industrial sector, which is a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions.
The episodes cover topics such as the potential of hydrogen ('COP28: Hydrogen headaches'), carbon capture and storage ('America's Path to Net Zero: Deploying Clean Technology'), and the role of renewable energy and energy storage ('Can a simple brick be the next great battery? | John O'Donnell') in transitioning heavy industries away from fossil fuels.
The episodes also explore the policy landscape, including the need for carbon pricing ('Can Industry Eliminate Its Carbon Pollution?'), trade measures, and public-private partnerships ('Re-run: Financing Clean Energy in Developing Economies') to support the industrial transition towards sustainable practices.
