Welcome to the Industrial Forum at Innovation Zero, a pivotal event focusing on minimising carbon footprints within the industrial sector by reducing both input and output emissions.

Hard-to-abate sectors like steel, cement, and petrochemicals can decarbonise through energy efficiency measures, the use of renewables, reducing process and operational emissions and the employment of a circular economy.

Innovations in CCUS and supply chain decarbonisation will feature amidst discussions on how we reduce the carbon inputs and outputs of the industrial sector.
