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.
Italy, like other European countries, has been called upon to structure the process of updating the Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) through public participation and effective multi-level dialogue, as envisaged by the Energy Union Governance Regulations and reiterated by the Commission’s Guidelines for revision of the Plan. This work shows the availability of resources, time and knowledge to make the NECP a plan that reflects the needs of the country, through a participation-based path.
