This report by the Climate Bonds Initiative analyzes the decarbonisation pathways for the cement and steel industries in Brazil. It identifies key emission sources, evaluates emerging technologies like low-carbon hydrogen (LCH) and carbon capture and storage (CCS), and examines the financial and regulatory frameworks—including the Brazilian Emissions Trading System (SBCE)—necessary to transition these hard-to-abate sectors toward a low-carbon economy to maintain international competitiveness.

This report by the Climate Bonds Initiative analyzes the market, policies, and investment opportunities for decarbonizing the cement and steel industries in Brazil. It identifies critical emission sources, evaluates emerging technologies like low-carbon hydrogen and carbon capture, and outlines the regulatory landscape, including the Brazilian Emissions Trading System (SBCE) and the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).

This research paper by the NewClimate Institute evaluates the Klimaschutzverträge (KSV) scheme, a German financial instrument designed to support industrial decarbonisation. The study examines whether the KSV adequately addresses sustainability risks and opportunities related to hydrogen production and use, specifically focusing on the distinction between green and low-carbon hydrogen, resource efficiency, and the impact on exporting nations.
