Climate change has stressed the need for industrial decarbonization, which aims to cut down carbon emissions from industrial activities via advanced technologies such as CCUS and promoted by smart policies and sturdy funding. Its main goal is to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. Business leaders rush to acknowledge the importance of decarbonizing their operations to create long-term value in an emerging low-carbon economy. Large enterprises are actively scouting for senior talent to execute their recently announced decarbonization goals.  Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), corporate initiatives, government policies, and the growing scope of CO2 utilization are all driving industrial decarbonization. Retrofitting CCUS technologies to existing industrial infrastructure will become crucial to reaching net zero by 2050. 

The US announced a plan to reduce at least 50% carbon emissions from 2005 levels by 2030. China has also vowed to cut greenhouse gases to hit a peak by 2030 and reach carbon neutrality by 2060. There was a renewed focus on the ‘carbon footprint’ of cryptocurrency transactions, especially bitcoin, and the need to reduce the carbon footprint of steel, shipping, aviation, and trucking industries.

During the Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP) in Paris in 2015, top-emitting countries pledged commitments called the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to reduce country-level emissions. The corporate strive towards achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) and the adoption of digitalization has further boosted industrial decarbonization.

What is the regional and country-level outlook of the industrial decarbonization sector?

The top ten countries with mentions of decarbonization and related keywords in company filings are the US, India, the UK, Japan, Canada, Hong Kong, Australia, China, Germany, and France. The US accounts for the majority of decarbonization mentions in company filings. The decarbonization mentions in company filings of the US-based companies were focused on reducing carbon footprint from their operations and implementing decarbonization solutions such as renewable power generation, green hydrogen, blue hydrogen, CCUS, electrification, biofuels, and energy efficiency efforts. India, the UK, Japan, and Canada-based companies highlighted energy-saving goals, electrification efforts, zero emission targets, net zero ambitions, and alternate fuels like methanol.

What are the key emerging technologies and concepts in the industrial decarbonization sector?

The key emerging technologies and concepts in the industrial decarbonization sector are green manufacturing, carbon capture-as-a-service (CCaaS), industrial IoT (IIoT), unmanned vehicles, and packaging 4.0.

Green manufacturing is adopting sustainable practices, such as less water and land utilization, minimal waste, biodegradable packaging, adopting bio-sourced chemicals, and others. The purpose for adapting such practices is to mitigate environmental impacts, primarily carbon emissions. Carbon capture-as-a-service companies would offer source-to-storage decarbonization and retrofit CCS techs into existing industrial plants to maximize the abatement of CO2. Energy-efficient communications and computation mechanisms in IIoT systems can reduce the consumption of energy and lower carbon emissions, thereby promoting decarbonization across heavy industries. Aerial drones help to sow seeds, fertilize fields more precisely, and protect insects. The vehicles can also minimize labor and energy-intensive processes in material handling, storage, and logistics facilities on-sites adding to the overall carbon mitigation. Connecting to smart grids can make them renewable. Packaging 4.0 is an extension of traditional smart packaging, which optimizes supply chains, enables the conservation of resources, and prevents their wastage.

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

 Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

 Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

 Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

 Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

 Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.

 Senior Account Manager, TSYS
