In the U.S., the industrial sector is projected to become the largest source of national greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030 absent additional policy intervention. States are in a prime position to lead this intervention — swift and innovative action is necessary for the industrial sector to reach net-zero GHG emissions.   

​

Enabling Industrial Decarbonization: A Policy Guidebook for U.S. States details strategies and pathways for policymakers to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the industrial sector. Drawing from a landscape analysis of more than 100 state policies, the Guidebook details the multiple policy levers states can utilize to enable and advance five decarbonization pillars of industrial decarbonization — efficiency; electrification; low-carbon fuels and feedstocks; carbon capture, utilization, and storage technologies; and procurement. ​

​

State Policy Progress, 2022-2025 is a Policy Addendum that captures 60 additional policies undertaken by states to advance industrial decarbonization and also introduces a new Policy Dashboard, a visual compendium of the more than 170 state policies covered across the 2022 Guidebook and the new Policy Addendum.
