$13.5trn needed to achieve net zero emission in cement, oil & gas, other industries, says WEF
In a bid to achieve a net-zero emission target, the World Economic Forum has disclosed that $13.5 trillion investment is needed to decarbonize key industries and achieve the net-zero target.
WEF disclosed this in the ‘The Net-Zero Industry Tracker 2023’, released on Tuesday in collaboration with Accenture.
The report took stock of the progress of net-zero emissions for eight industries, including steel, cement, aluminium, ammonia, excluding other chemicals, oil and gas, aviation, shipping and trucking – which depend on fossil fuels for 90 per cent of the energy demand.
Roberto Bocca, Head of the Centre for Energy and Materials, World Economic Forum, noted that decarbonizing the industrial and transport sectors, which emit 40 per cent of global greenhouse gas, is pivotal to achieving net zero.
It emphasized the urgency for creating a robust enabling environment, including low-emissions technologies, infrastructure, demand for green products, policies and investments.
