Barriers to EU industrial decarbonisation - and proposed solutions
Download the Report
Industries operating within the EU’s Emissions Trading System (ETS) account for some 42% of the bloc’s total CO₂ emissions. Reducing these sources of greehouse gases is critical to meeting the EU’s overall emissions targets and limiting global temperature rise in line with the Paris Agreement. In practice, cutting emissions has proven to be particularly challenging for a host of reasons.
This paper explores both the barriers faced in decarbonising industries and solutions put forward by stakeholders – in their own words.
Based on responses received since the opening of the Call For Evidence in November 2017.
