A new study from Material Economics states that zero-emission EU industry is “within reach”, but costly.
Heavy industry such as cement, chemicals and steel still rely a lot on fossil fuels, and moving to a zero-emission system would need high investments.
However, the mentalities have change, and EU industry in general seems to be more open to new production models and technologies which would be more eco-friendly.
