Highlights from ‘State Efforts To Decarbonize Key Industrial Sectors’

The Center for American Progress held a virtual event that explored state policy efforts to decarbonize and detoxify the production of construction materials and discussed lessons learned from policy implementation.

The Center for American Progress held a virtual event that explored state policy efforts to decarbonize and detoxify the production of construction materials, and discussed lessons learned from policy implementation. Producing the materials at the bedrock of the United States’ infrastructure and economy—such as cement, iron, and steel—contributes significantly to today’s climate crisis and emits air pollutants that harm public health.

Several states have pioneered ambitious policies to incentivize the reduction of emissions from heavy industrial production. CAP’s recent report “State Efforts To Decarbonize Key Industrial Sectors” analyzes these states’ actions so far and provides policy recommendations moving forward.

The positions of American Progress, and our policy experts, are independent, and the findings and conclusions presented are those of American Progress alone. A full list of supporters is available here. American Progress would like to acknowledge the many generous supporters who make our work possible.
