Findings from the HiTeMP-2 Outlook Report

HiTeMP

Heavy industry is vital to our economy, but it contributes to the planet’s climate challenge, which is why transitioning the sector to net-zero carbon emissions is so important. Decarbonising heavy industry will be good for the global economy, because it is being driven by new markets for higher value new green products.
