This page provides an introduction to energy transition challenges in the industrial sector. It also tracks progress, presents data and lists seven key recommendations to policymakers and businesses.
The Industrial Deep Decarbonisation Initiative, established by the UN Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the Clean Energy Ministerial, is a coalition of governments and companies. Among its goals, it seeks to motivate governments, which are major buyers of steel, cement and concrete for infrastructure projects, to apply sustainable procurement principles and prioritise the buying of … Continue reading “Decarbonizing steel, cement and concrete: An overview of the Industrial Deep Decarbonisation Initiative”
Wind farms tend to be large projects built in relatively remote areas, and in the past, they have often generated more disturbance than benefits for local communities. This World Bank report discusses models that allow host communities of wind energy projects to benefit more from those projects.
This is Energypedia’s Wind Portal. It provides an overview of wind energy technology, preparatory studies needed to plan a wind energy project, wind energy policy frameworks, and wind energy project implementation, operation, MEL and impacts.
This report provides baseline data on women’s employment in wind energy, as well as information on barriers to gender equality and recommendations to close gender gaps.
This database presents the current status, policy barriers, and key innovations for electrification of mobility, heating and cooling, and hydrogen production.
This report explores the critical intersections of AI development, gender equality and energy transitions, emphasizing how AI applications can advance a sustainable, equitable and just energy transition.
This brief describes the balance required in effective green industrial policies across three dimensions: consumption-centred, production-centred, and innovation.
This brief describes policy options for the decarbonisation of heavy industry, both for improved material efficiency and for electrification.
These guidelines provide advice on the development of green hydrogen clusters, which are industrial clusters that share green hydrogen and renewable energy for various purposes and can significantly contribute to industrial decarbonisation.
