The Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) is pleased to invite you to a webinar on 'How India's Hard-To-Abate Sectors Can Go Net-Zero: Marginal Abatement Cost Curves for Carbon Mitigation Technologies in Aluminium and Fertiliser Industries' on 30 April 2024, 1600–1730 IST.

India is the second largest fertiliser producer and consumer globally. Similarly, in terms of overall metal consumption, aluminium ranks second, next to steel. However, India’s per capita aluminium consumption is low, at 2.5 kg, compared to the world average of 11 kg, and has significant potential for growth. A growing population and demand have led to a considerable increase in consumption of these essential commodities, which also happen to be energy and emission-intensive to produce. As the country balances its thrust on growth and its climate commitments, it is imperative to decarbonise without deindustrialisation. 

At this session, we will launch our studies on decarbonisation options for the fertiliser and aluminium industries. Our study analyses key carbon mitigation technologies and evaluates their techno-economic feasibility for decarbonising legacy production capacities. The workshop will bring together key stakeholders from industry, academia and the policy sphere to deliberate on strategies for cost-effective, deep decarbonisation of these industries to ultimately achieve India’s climate goals.
