We’re proud to share the results of our collaborative work—“Technologies and gaps in deep decarbonization of hard-to-abate industrial sectors”—now available in Nature 📢

👉 https://doi.org/10.1038/s44359-025-00082-w

This Perspective outlines crucial findings from our project on deep decarbonization, focusing on three industrial giants: iron and steel, cement, and primary chemicals—together responsible for ~17% of global CO₂ emissions in 2021.

💡 What’s inside:

A comprehensive map of current and emerging abatement technologies, from electrification and recycling to clean hydrogen and CCS

In-depth analysis of technological readiness, economic feasibility, and the often underestimated “green premium”

A critical look at how to sequence deployment: what can be done now (energy efficiency, electrification) and what needs long-term investment (hydrogen, CCS)

🚧 But we also expose the gaps—in technology maturity, cost efficiency, and scalability. The road ahead requires coordinated investment, cross-sector innovation, and adaptive policy frameworks.

This article is part of our broader effort under PANTHEON, aiming to inform realistic, science-based pathways toward net-zero for the world’s toughest sectors.
