OECD work in support of industrial decarbonisation

Industrial decarbonisation is a cornerstone to realising net-zero emission targets. Effective decarbonisation pathways require swift and bold action from both industry actors and governments across countries. The OECD provides data-driven and fact-based analyses and policy advice to support governments and industry in this essential journey to net zero.

Examples of our work include:

• Granular data on the magnitude of industrial decarbonisation challenges across value chains

• In-depth analysis of industrial decarbonisation challenges at regional level

• Data on policy measures put in place to address these challenges

• Insights on how green industrial policy approaches can support decarbonisation, notably through science, technology and innovation

• Made-to-measure policy frameworks to assist countries in effectively addressing decarbonisation challenges

• Measurement and tracking of industrial subsidies in key industrial sectors

• Identification of enabling conditions and financing instruments to improve competitiveness of low-carbon industrial technologies, both for OECD and non-OECD countries

• Assessment of skills needs to enable the green transition

• Assessment of carbon footprint methodologies and analysis of firm-level emissions, with an emphasis on small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)

• Multilateral platforms for policy dialogue and joint action on industrial decarbonisation
