The Hub Live 2021 - Demanding Net Zero Industry

Industrial materials have long been the thorn in the side of net zero ambitions. But if we stand a chance of halving emission by 2030, we must take urgent action and quickly strike the balance between supply and demand.

Large consumers of industrial products like steel, cement and copper from the automotive, construction, engineering and renewable energy sectors are accelerating demand for zero carbon materials driven by supply chain pressuresand the business case for taking climate action now. With emerging breakthrough technologies, this shift in demand, and greater collaboration across value chains, net zero by 2050 in some of the hardest to abate industries can become a reality, but only if business acts today.

The Hub Live explores why demand signals are critical especially for the net-zero transition for heavy industry. This session brings together key influencers to discuss the business case for net zero industrial products and stakeholders from across the steel value chain to explore challenges and solutions in making and purchasing net zero steel.

• Laurent Chokoualé Datou, VP Public Affairs, International Copper Association
