The topic of discussion: Industrial energy efficiency and decarbonization

Different industries produce energy and process-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. To reach net-zero by 2050, CO2 emissions must decline 3.5% year-on-year, on average. One pillar to cover this objective toward decarbonization is to accelerate the application of energy efficiency in industrial sectors. Energy efficiency includes measures related to reduced demand and efficiency improvements. Energy efficiency measures could be considered as part of structural changes and circular economy practices as well.

In this article, we learn more about industrial energy efficiency and decarbonization from Mahdi Shakouri, an Industrial Energy Efficiency Advisor who has worked for/with United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and United Nations Development Program (UNDP).
