Transition towards a low-carbon world: What's a stake for heavy industries?

Poznan 03rd of December 2008
Pologne

This side event will discuss the conclusions of the programme "Scenarios for transition towards a low-carbon world in 2050: What's a stake for heavy industries", concerning both general climate policy as well as the economic response of industrial sectors - specifically of the energy, steel, aluminium, cement, and sheet glass sectors.

Launched in 2004, the programme has explored how major industrial sectors will be impacted by a carbon constraint stabilizing atmospheric C02 concentration at 450 ppm, by means of an innovative hybrid modelling platform and ongoing dialogue between reserachers and industrials.
