Hard-to-abate sectors such as steel, cement, and fertilizer are major contributors to global emissions. This domain equips learners with the knowledge and tools to model decarbonization pathways, assess technology options (e.g., CCUS, electrification, hydrogen), evaluate policy instruments, and measure investment requirements. Learners gain practical skills in sectoral emission mapping, scenario analysis, transition strategy design, and ESG-aligned reporting to support industrial decarbonization and net-zero targets.
