Industrial Decarbonization and Sustainable Manufacturing
How do we manufacture things without damaging the environment? Industrial sectors like steel, cement, and chemicals are some of the hardest to decarbonize, yet they account for nearly a third of global greenhouse gas emissions. Manufacturing also drives resource and energy use at massive scale, often relying on processes that have changed little in decades. To reach net-zero targets, we need bold innovations that cut emissions, improve efficiency, and enable circular production, without compromising performance or cost. We challenge you to design solutions that accelerate industrial decarbonization and build a more sustainable future for manufacturing.
