The document discusses greenhouse gas emissions from the industry sector based on the Working Group III contribution to the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report. It states that total emissions from the industry sector in 2010 were 15.5 GtCO2eq, representing over 30% of global emissions. Emissions come from both direct sources within the industry and indirect emissions from purchased electricity and heat. The document also notes there are significant opportunities to reduce emissions in a cost-effective manner through practices like improving energy efficiency, fuel switching, material efficiency, and deploying best available technologies.

Five main options for reducing GHG emissions in the
industry sector (considering also traded goods)
3. Working Group III contribution to the
IPCC Fifth Assessment Report
World production of minerals and manufactured products
is growing steadily driving GHG emissions
4. Working Group III contribution to the
IPCC Fifth Assessment Report
Emissions from industry sector comprises direct and
indirect emissions
Total emissions of industry
sector are 15.5 GtCO2eq in
2010 – they are larger than
the emissions from either
the buildings or transport
sectors and represented
just over 30% of global
GHG emissions in 2010
Direct emissions from the
sector are dominated by five
main products
5. Working Group III contribution to the
IPCC Fifth Assessment Report
Significant mitigation potentials exist in various cost ranges
including cost effectives measures (case study of steel)
6. Working Group III contribution to the
IPCC Fifth Assessment Report
Current investments in GHG mitigation measures focus on
low cost measures (case study of India)

Industry : reduction scope
• From a short and mid-term perspective
– 25% through the wide-scale deployment of best available
– Additional 20% through innovation
• In the long-term a shift to low-carbon electricity, radical
product innovations (e.g. alternatives to cement), or CCS
(for process emissions) could contribute to significant
(absolute) GHG emissions reductions
• SMEs clusters can reduce energy and material
consumption and thus GHG emissions
• Waste reduction, followed by re-use, recycling and energy
recovery

Figure 10.2 A schematic illustration of industrial activity over the supply chain. Options for climate change mitigation in the industry sector are indicated by the circled numbers: (1) Energy efficiency (e.g., through furnace insulation, process coupling, or increased material recycling); (2) Emissions efficiency (e.g., from switching to non-fossil fuel electricity supply, or applying CCS to cement kilns); (3a) Material efficiency in manufacturing (e.g., through reducing yield losses in blanking and stamping sheet metal or re-using old structural steel without melting); (3b) Material efficiency in product design (e.g., through extended product life, light-weight design, or de-materialization); (4) Product-Service efficiency (e.g., through car sharing, or higher building occupancy); (5) Service demand reduction (e.g., switching from private to public transport).

Global industry and waste/wastewater GHG emissions grew from 10.42 GtCO2eq in 1990 to 12.98 GtCO2eq in 2005 to 15.51 GtCO2eq in 2010. These emissions are larger than the emissions from either the buildings or transport end-use sectors and represent just over 30% of global GHG emissions in 2010 (just over 40% if AFOLU emissions are not included). These total emissions are comprised of:
Direct energy-related CO2 emissions for industry (This also includes CO2 emissions from non-energy uses of fossil fuels)
Indirect CO2 emissions from production of electricity and heat for industry
Process CO2 emissions
Non-CO2 GHG emissions
Direct emissions for waste/wastewater
This is an example from India to illustrate that developing countries are also spending on mitigation
