To effectively tackle the climate crisis and reach net-zero emissions by 2050, it is imperative that heavy industry removes emissions from operations while continuing to supply core materials and transformational technologies and supporting high-quality, union jobs. The Global Clean Energy Action Forum provides an important moment for experts to come together to explore innovative ideas. This panel seeks to meet that moment by diving into the complicated yet critical issues surrounding how the United States can decarbonize heavy industry.
