How Can We Cut Industrial Emissions?

The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) invites you to a briefing about pathways for industrial decarbonization. Materials like steel, iron, and cement form the backbone of U.S. industry, and have long been a symbol of U.S. innovation and prosperity. The production of these materials, as well as chemicals and plastics, often requires extremely high temperatures typically achieved by burning fossil fuels. The industrial sector is the second-largest greenhouse gas emitter, representing 30% of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, and is projected to be the largest by 2035. 

This briefing will identify opportunities for industrial emissions reductions—such as electrification and material reuse. Panelists will also highlight how key players from the federal government and private sector come together to advance deployable innovations like green steel and carbon-negative concrete. Attendees will leave with an understanding of industrial decarbonization efforts that also boost American competitiveness and create a more resilient economy and climate.
