Investing at the source

Industry is the backbone of modern life, the highest emitting sector, and the gateway to unlocking rapid, large-scale decarbonization. Investing in scalable solutions is not just an opportunity; it is a necessity. Now is the time for a powerful convergence of breakthrough technologies, forward-thinking policies, catalytic funding, and cross-sector collaboration poised to disrupt entrenched industrial emissions at their source.

With a trusted platform

By bridging expertise, influence, and capital, Global Industry Hub turns ambition into action—building a low-carbon industrial future that is both competitive and sustainable. To transform industry and redefine the foundation of a thriving global economy, the Global Industry Hub is an essential nexus for essential action. Together with catalytic funders, we mobilize and deploy transformative investments that scale real change.

Our Focus

Accelerating action to transform industries

Steel

Steel manufacturing relies heavily on coal-powered furnaces, but efficient alternatives can drastically reduce emissions while maintaining strength and versatility. Decarbonizing steel is both a climate imperative and a major opportunity for emerging economies.

Cement

Traditional cement production releases massive amounts of carbon. With global demand for cement continuing to rise, transitioning to low-carbon options will create new avenues for infrastructure development with minimal embodied carbon.

Chemicals

Chemicals are embedded in everything from food production to electronics, yet formulation typically depends heavily on fossil fuels and high-heat reactions. Scaling cleaner solutions will foster innovation and future-proof the sectors that support global commerce.

2030 Priorities

Our 2030 Priorities

The Global Industry Hub seeks to achieve net-zero emissions from the heavy industry sector by 2050. Towards this, our 2030 goals are as follows:

Scale clean production globally

Major industrial sectors demonstrate, and implement near-zero emissions production technologies at full commercial scale, setting a new global benchmark for sustainability and competitiveness.

Redirect capital toward clean innovation

No new investments flow into high emitting production. Instead, capital accelerates the scaling of near-zero emissions technologies, making industrial transformation rapid and irreversible.

Drive private sector leadership in emissions reduction

Companies and private sector initiatives lead the charge in decarbonization, taking full responsibility for their lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions—measuring, disclosing, and aggressively reducing them in line with global climate goals.

Communities lead the charge for change

Organizations and communities wield their influence, shaping policies, shifting markets, and holding industries accountable—accelerating the transition to a clean industrial future.

Source Investing

Where new markets are made

Source Investing

Heavy industry—steel, cement, and chemicals—is both a cornerstone of economic growth and a major source of emissions. Once considered too hard to decarbonize, these sectors are now being transformed through source investing: funding innovation at the core of industrial processes.

This shift creates new economic opportunities while addressing climate goals. The Global Industry Hub brings together funders, innovators, and policymakers to accelerate this transition and unlock the next wave of industrial and economic transformation.
