The go-to Experts for Decarbonizing Heavy-emitting Industries

For emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs), decarbonizing heavy industries is an opportunity to achieve dual benefits: addressing climate change while fostering sustainable industrial growth. With a focus on steel, cement and concrete, the Net Zero Partnership for Industrial Decarbonization (NZP) helps countries navigate this complex challenge by providing comprehensive assistance—covering customized policy guidance, cutting-edge technology solutions, as well as access to finance and knowledge. The Net Zero Partnership is supported by the International Climate Initiative of the Government of Germany and the Government of the United Kingdom.​

How we Work

Our ultimate goal is to drive the global shift towards net-zero industries by 2050.

With the expertise and experience to work simultaneously with policy makers, technical government officials, industry leaders and financiers, The NZP provides customized support to countries as they navigate the complexities of decarbonizing their rapidly growing heavy-emitting industries. Our focus is on:

Global icon
POLICIES & MEASURES
Fostering the right policy environment for low- or near-zero carbon industrial development. Working at the national level, this involves supporting countries to shape their NDC goals, setting industry-specific targets. It also involves supporting policies and sector-specific decarbonization roadmaps, establishing the necessary standards and enabling investments and incentives.
Technology icon
TECHNOLOGY
Accelerating the deployment of technologies. Working at the company level, we help forward-thinking businesses implement a mix of decarbonization solutions. These combine efficiency measures with technology upgrades to electrify heating, or introduce breakthrough innovations, such low-carbon hydrogen and more. Through a rigorous process, we also help businesses to conduct feasibility studies and prepare ready-for-investment projects.
Knowledge icon
GLOBAL KNOWLEDGE
Amplifying our impact by enriching global knowledge exchange. Decarbonizing heavy industry is a new and quickly evolving frontier. What we learn in the real-world of heavy manufacturing in EMDEs provides valuable insights, which we proactively share.This amplifies our impact, expanding global collaboration and dialogue.

We respond to requests from EMDEs that come through the Climate Club’s Global Matchmaking Platform as well as requests that come directly to our programme. Every situation requires a unique approach and our work is customized to deliver tailored solutions. By sharing what we learn along the way, other countries benefit, enriching the global industrial decarbonization conversation.
