Rissman, Jeffrey,
ZERO-CARBON INDUSTRY : Transformative Technologies and Policies to Achieve Sustainable Prosperity / Jeffrey Rissman. - viii, 390 pages : illustrations, charts ; 24 cm. - Center on Global Energy Policy series .
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Zero-Carbon Industry provides a detailed roadmap to
understanding emissions from the global industry sector,
the technologies that can cost-effectively decarbonize
industry, and the policy framework and research directions
that can commercialize these technologies and deliver them
at scale. The book illustrates the scope of the challenge,
then dives into the top-emitting industries: iron and
steel, chemicals and plastics, and cement. Decarbonization
policy and technology expert Jeffrey Risman discusses new
and upcoming technologies, including electrification of
industrial processes, the use of zero-carbon hydrogen for
energy, carbon capture, material efficiency (such as
lightweighting and 3D printing), and innovative low-carbon
materials. The book closes with a look at how the right
policies can ensure the transition to zero-carbon industry
affords a viable development pathway for developing
countries, and how to ensure equity for labor and
disadvantaged communities that may be impacted by the
transition. Zero Carbon Industry is the definitive guide
to decarbonizing the vast and important - yet often
overlooked - global industrial sector.
