ETC-MPP: Heavy Industry Energy Use Down 45%

Report by Energy Transitions Commission and Mission Possible Partnership says heavy‑industry output can rise while cutting energy use up to 45% by 2050.
Energy productivity measures—technical, service and material efficiency—could slash 25‑45% energy demand across aluminium, aviation, cement, chemicals, shipping and steel.
Recycling aluminium uses about 95% less energy; cement clinker reduction and better building design are key levers for material efficiency.
Achieving 40‑60% lower “green premiums” for aviation and shipping requires combining productivity gains with low‑carbon fuels like hydrogen, ammonia and CCS.
