Reducing emissions by decarbonizing industry

MIT Center for Sustainability Science and Strategy

Cement, iron and steel, and chemicals account for about 20 percent of global CO2 emissions. Emissions from these industries are notoriously difficult to abate because, in addition to emissions associated with energy use, a significant portion of industrial emissions come from the process itself. Pictured here is a steel mill in Pennsylvania.
