The decarbonization of industrial processes refers to the efforts to address climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions through changes in such processes. Industrial activities are major contributors to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

Key technologies addressing this issue include those improving energy efficiency in industrial processes reducing overall energy demand and associated emissions as well as those allowing a shift from direct combustion of fossil fuels to using electricity industrial processes can be a significant strategy.

The latter approach is most effective when the electricity is generated from renewable sources. In addition, there are technologies focused on utilizing captured carbon dioxide, such as converting it into valuable products or incorporating it into industrial processes.
