This analysis proposes a simplified and aggregated policy framework that’s consistent with the transition towards climate neutrality as well as an outline and assessment of the policies currently in place in the cement industry in Italy, which is the second largest producer of cement in the European Union and a major consumer of cement and concrete.
The biggest obstacle for zero/low emission or green steel is the simple fact that, within the current market, it isn’t cost-competitive. In light of the complex regulatory framework that has been developed around energy and climate objectives, this policy paper offers a perspective and a conceptual outline for defining a policy framework that’s consistent with the country's emission reduction goals.
The significant contribution to national emissions by the manufacturing sector depends on its reliance on the use of fossil fuels for energy purposes, as well as on emissions that are inherent in certain production processes (e.g. cement, chemicals, etc.). Framing the country’s industrial development prospects within the path of reducing greenhouse gas emissions represents a strategic opportunity. The definition of the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) due by next June, is a unique opportunity for action.
