At the Future Cleantech Festival, policymakers, industry leaders, researchers, innovators, and journalists visited factories, utility control rooms, and construction sites to experience the opportunities and challenges of industrial decarbonization firsthand.
From high-temperature industrial heat and the steelmaking to structural efficiency and the future of Europe’s energy system, one message resonated throughout the Festival:
The technologies exist. Now we need the enabling conditions to scale them.
· Abundant clean electricity
· Smarter grids
· Circular use of materials
· Supportive policies and investment certainty
