Financing solutions to foster industrial decarbonisation in emerging and developing
economies
Industry decarbonisation is a cornerstone to reach net-zero emissions by this mid-century.
The diversity of industrial activities, processes and products, the complexity of
global industrial value chains, and the international competition make industry decarbonisation
a challenging objective. Annual investments in low-carbon technologies for industry
decarbonisation need to increase by a factor of three to five by 2030 compared to
current levels to align industrial emissions with net-zero pathways. This paper analyses
available financing solutions to scale up investments at pace, especially in emerging
and developing economies where industrial production is growing rapidly whilst available
finance is limited. It highlights de-risking and financial instruments and models
that can help accelerate investments and draws lessons from twelve financing industry
decarbonisation case studies which demonstrate how private capital can be mobilised.
