Why is innovation in industrial decarbonization in developing countries important?
Industrial decarbonization is crucial as the industrial sector, particularly heavy industries like steel, cement, and chemicals, significantly contributes to global carbon dioxide emissions. Achieving net-zero emissions requires using low-carbon energy, cleaner production technologies, improved energy efficiency, and advanced solutions such as carbon capture, usage, and storage (CCUS), especially in rapidly urbanizing and growing developing countries.

How does the A2D Facility contribute to addressing these challenges?

• Accelerates industrial decarbonization in developing countries through targeted grant support and knowledge dissemination.
• Funds transformative demonstration projects deploying innovative climate solutions.
• Supports capacity-building initiatives, policy advocacy, and strategic partnerships for sustainable industrial development.
• Collaborates with stakeholders to advance clean energy transitions, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and promote inclusive economic growth.
