This report “Pathways Analysis Summary: Decarbonization Potential for Industrial Subsectors” provides a summary of draft modelling efforts undertaken by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office (IEDO) as an extension and expansion of the 2022 Industrial Decarbonization Roadmap. IEDO is providing these draft modelling results to support stakeholder engagement and inform office- and department wide strategy and decision making. The report provides an overview of the context for this analysis and modelling as well as information on the decarbonization pillars characterised and the models themselves.
It also presents modelling results of one net-zero emissions pathway each for six industrial subsectors: cement, chemicals, food and beverage, iron and steel, petroleum refining, and pulp and paper. It gives an overview of the “rest of industry” subsectors and a high-level overview of net-zero barriers, challenges, pathways, and technologies.
