Summary

Policy and regulation are crucial for accelerating industrial decarbonisation in sectors where emissions reductions have so far been difficult to realise.
Bringing together insights from a year of extensive stakeholder engagement with IDRIC partners in industry, academia and governments, this report outlines key areas where policy and regulatory change can make a difference in supporting industrial decarbonisation.
The report discusses seven priority areas for industrial decarbonisation policy:
- Business model support for scaling up low-carbon technologies
- Enabling fuel switching and electrification
- Supporting Infrastructure for transport and storage of electricity, hydrogen and CO2
- Timely planning, consenting, and permitting processes
- Comprehensive carbon accounting and standards
- Resilient low-carbon supply chains
- Net zero skills and workforce
