About us
Areas of work
The easiest and cheapest solution lies in the energy we don’t use. Besides the incredible benefits for our planet and people, energy efficient technology and management practices can slash operational costs, boost productivity, increase asset values, and improve energy security.
Worldwide, industrial organizations are beginning to integrate biomass, solar thermal systems, green hydrogen and waste heat recovery technologies into their energy mix. The Accelerator supports industry in a just renewable transition.
Coordinated by UNIDO, the Industrial Deep Decarbonization Initiative (IDDI) works to facilitate the creation of policy that enables industrial decarbonization, by creating a thriving market for low carbon industrial products such as steel and cement.
