Zero-Carbon Industry is a new book from Energy Innovation’s Senior Director of Industry Jeff Rissman, published by Columbia University Press. Industry– like steel, cement, and chemical production– is a huge source of climate pollution. For example, by 2030, it could be the largest source of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. If we don’t decarbonize industry, we don’t solve climate change.
Zero-Carbon Industry offers a first-of-its-kind roadmap for cutting emissions from the industrial sector. It examines the technologies we’ll need to succeed and the policies we need to grow them at the speed and scale the climate crisis requires.
“For those who hear the words ‘climate change’ and picture dirty power plants and fossil fuel pipelines, read this book. It opened my eyes and will open yours to the fact that the industrial sector is responsible for one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions. So, what do we do? Read this book. Rissman explores the new technologies, processes, and policies that could—with continued investment in research and development—transform the relatively small set of industries responsible for the lion’s share of this sector’s emissions into the economic engines of the future.”—GINA MCCARTHY, former U.S. national climate advisor and former administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
