Industries & Services
Industries and services encompass technological innovations, new systems, and upgrades that reduce the energy intensity and direct emissions from manufacturing and processing within various industrial and service sub-sectors. Industrial sub-sectors include pharmaceutical, agricultural, inorganic chemical, fiber, rubber, petrochemical, plastic, textile, leather, metal, mineral, and cement production. Service sub-sectors include agriculture, forestry, and fisheries processing, as well as water utilities. By implementing renewable energy sources and energy-efficient technologies, the energy-intensive nature of industries and services can be mitigated, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Reducing emissions from industry and service sub-sectors requires a multi-faceted approach, including adopting renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, and investing in innovative technologies. Collaboration between industries and governments is essential to implement these solutions at scale.
