The industrial sector alone contributes 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

A significant portion (63%) of direct emissions from industry comes from the production of metals, chemicals, and cement.

Descarbonizing the industrial sector is essential for addressing the harmful impacts of climate change.

Besides mining, manufacturing, and construction, the industrial sector also encompasses oil and gas production.

The primary goal of industrial decarbonization is to move away from the damaging impacts of the climate crisis.

Steel and cement production alone contribute 15% of global CO2 emissions.

One way to reduce steel demand is to replace it with alternative materials, ensuring the substitute doesn't have harmful side effects.

Urban planning that promotes compact cities can help reduce the demand for carbon-intensive industrial materials.

The entire industry, particularly those involved in turning steel and cement into final products, needs to take action to reduce demand.

Reducing steel demand is crucial for decreasing industrial emissions.

Circular measures can potentially reduce steel demand by as much as 40%.

Cement, steel, and chemicals are among the most carbon-intensive sectors of the economy.

Simple energy switching won't suffice for industrial decarbonization because manufacturing materials requires high-temperature heat.

Achieving net-zero emissions from industry requires a combination of technological advancements and behavioral changes.

Industrial emissions have been increasing faster than other sectors since 2000.

Economic development in other countries can significantly influence the demand for industrial materials.

Manufacturing processes can generate emissions that are not related to burning fossil fuels.
