Surfacing Supply of Near-Zero Emissions Fuels and Materials in India
Summary
The document outlines the objectives of a First Movers Coalition workshop in India focused on decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors. It emphasizes that while breakthrough technologies like clean hydrogen and carbon capture exist, they require increased private sector demand and public policy support to reach commercial scale by 2050.
Key insights
- Seven 'hardest-to-abate' sectors—aluminium, aviation, chemicals, concrete, shipping, steel, and trucking—collectively account for over one-third of global carbon emissions.
- Decarbonization technologies such as sustainable aviation fuel, clean hydrogen, and carbon capture and storage are currently too expensive and niche to scale without public policy support or private sector demand.
- The First Movers Coalition India workshop, conducted from 11-13 July 2023, specifically targeted the aviation, steel, and cement and concrete sectors to identify supply potential and analyze barriers to scaling near-zero emission solutions.
