Decarbonizing Hard-to-Abate Sectors: Opportunities for Low-Carbon Suppliers

A Report by the World Economic Forum and Deloitte

A new report by the World Economic Forum and Deloitte highlights the urgent need to decarbonize high-emission industries like aviation, shipping, trucking, aluminum, cement, and steel. By 2050, nearly half of the emissions reductions required to reach net-zero will depend on technologies that are not yet scalable, making this both a challenge and a significant opportunity for low-carbon suppliers.

Historically, heavy industries and transportation have relied on carbon-intensive processes, significantly contributing to global emissions. However, growing regulatory pressure, shifting consumer preferences, and ambitious climate goals are accelerating the push for decarbonization. Companies that can develop cost-effective, low-carbon alternatives will gain a competitive edge in this evolving market.

To succeed, suppliers must actively engage in industry consortiums to establish clear emission measurement standards. Strategic decisions regarding production locations and collaborations will be crucial in ensuring the affordability and availability of essential low-carbon inputs. Additionally, educating buyers on the long-term value of decarbonized solutions will play a vital role in driving widespread adoption.

With policy changes and market demands reshaping industries, the transition to low-carbon alternatives presents a massive growth opportunity. Businesses that invest in innovation, partnerships, and emissions transparency will be at the forefront of the clean energy revolution.
