Developed in collaboration with the World Economic Forum First Movers Coalition (FMC), this report offers a supplier-focused analysis of the value chain, decarbonization pathways, and the challenges and opportunities associated with scaling up low-carbon technologies.
By 2050, achieving net-zero emissions will heavily rely on technologies not yet commercially available at scale. As the complexities of reducing global greenhouse gas emissions are navigated, understanding decarbonization pathways and the significant role suppliers play is crucial for fostering the commercial adoption of low-carbon technologies. Suppliers are a key player in the decarbonization ecosystem as they are responsible for piloting, developing, and scaling-up the low-carbon technologies needed globally.
This report highlights the critical role of suppliers in heavy-emitting sectors and the urgent need for innovative decarbonization strategies. It also offers an in-depth analysis from the supplier's perspective on navigating the challenges and seizing the opportunities within the decarbonization landscape and serves as a blueprint for stakeholders across the value chain to collaborate and innovate. By embracing these strategies, the adoption of essential low-carbon technologies to meet net-zero goals can be accelerated. Organizations are encouraged to leverage this report to champion the development and implementation of sustainable, low-carbon technologies in their operations and investments.
