Climate-Smart Manufacturing & Industrial Decarbonization

Manufacturing and infrastructure sectors contribute significantly to global GHG emissions, resource extraction, waste generation, and energy demand. Industry decarbonization is a central pillar of the global net-zero transition, particularly for hard-to-abate sectors such as cement, steel, chemicals, fertilizers, aluminum, mining, and heavy transport. This domain equips learners with tools and strategies to transform industrial operations toward net-zero through low-carbon technology pathways, AI-enabled efficiency, digital twins, circular materials, carbon accounting, renewable integration, climate finance, and industrial policy frameworks. Learners gain technical, managerial, and policy perspectives to manage climate transition risks and unlock clean-industry innovation at scale.
