Mission Possible Partnership

This week we’re at London Climate Action Week, tipping the scales on industrial decarbonisation… ⚖ In April we launched the #GlobalProjectTracker, a groundbreaking tool developed by Mission Possible Partnership and supported by the Industrial Transition Accelerator (ITA). This tool maps the operations, investment decisions, and announcements of net-zero-aligned assets across seven critical industrial sectors - aluminium, cement, chemicals, steel, aviation, shipping and trucking. 🏗️🚢✈️ Our April data revealed progress is being made, but the pace needs to accelerate. ⏩ Fast-forward to Climate Action Week and we’re sharing new insights that show HOW we can drive that acceleration. Discover a taster of the 10 key takeaways below. Full insights coming tomorrow (27.06.24). Join us in accelerating the journey to net-zero emissions by 2030. Together, we can make a difference! 💪🌱 #NetZero #Decarbonisation #Sustainability #IndustrialTransformation #MissionPossible

We're proud to be partnering with BusinessGreen's Net Zero Festival 2024. The event celebrates and promotes the best of the #netzero transition, and in the process allow businesses, investors, policymakers, and campaigners to share the experience and best practices that would allow everyone to move faster, together in pursuit of net zero goals. There's already a fantastic line up of speakers and sessions and we'll be revealing more about MPP's participation in the coming weeks. Check out the agenda here: https://lnkd.in/erZjNg-r

Back in Paris, following a visit to Perth, WA, to discuss OECD - OCDE project on green #iron, including a case study on Australia. Very impressed by WA colleagues work on #steel #decarbonisation pivoting from the world largest iron ore exporter to a global hub for green iron. Thanks to David Trotter from the Minerals Research Institute of Western Australia (MRIWA), Alannah MacTiernan from GFG Alliance, Joe Wyder and other colleagues from EPWA and JTSI and to Tristy Fairfield, who helped set up a great impromptu round table with various civil society organisations in WA including WWF, the Metal Workers Union, the The Superpower Institute the Smart Energy Council and Mission Possible Partnership.

The technologies needed to decarbonise all sectors of the economy, including harder-to-abate sectors, have become increasingly mature.  In the buildings, light, aviation and trucking industries, solutions including residential and industrial heat pumps and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) are already commercially available. For other harder-to-abate sectors of the economy, most decarbonisation technologies have moved from pilot to demonstration stage and are expected to become commercially mature over the next decade.  With 100 days until COP29 in Baku on the road to COP30, governments should reflect this technological progress now in "NDCs 3.0" to accelerate the energy transition.  Read the full insights briefing on #CredibleContributions: https://lnkd.in/eQfdmpgj

Systemiq’s Managing Partner, Jeremy Oppenheim, recently joined Philippa Nuttall and Kathleen McLaughlin, Chief Sustainability Officer at Walmart, on an episode of the Sustainable Views podcast. In the episode, they delve into the pressing challenges of defining and managing Scope 3 emissions where Jeremy emphasized the need to prioritize direct decarbonization of value chains, while highlighting the importance of using all tools at our disposal for climate action, including high integrity carbon credits. “We’re firmly in territory where we need to combine driving decarbonization through (companies’ own) value chains with the fact we will have to do carbon removal at very large scale…we need to build an industry that is roughly the size of the oil and gas industry to do carbon removal over the next 25 years.” Click the link below to listen. #Scope3 #ValueChainEmissions #Decarbonisation #Sustainability #ClimateAction #CarbonRemoval #CarbonCredits

The time is now to tip the scales on industrial #decarbonisation. Our #GlobalProjectTracker highlights progress in seven industrial sectors - aluminium, cement, chemicals, steel, aviation, shipping, and trucking - against decarbonisation milestones to be achieved by 2030. There is progress, BUT the pace must accelerate. 10 crucial takeaways that show we can do this: ⏰ The time is now: There’s a window of opportunity for transforming industry. 📏 It’s measurable: We know that it’s possible and can now track its progress. ⏩ Need for speed: Industrial decarbonisation has started but needs to accelerate. 🌍 Regional leaders: Some sectors and regions are transforming faster than others due to supportive environments. 🌱 Kick-starting markets: We’re learning how to deploy levers in the right way to kick-start new markets. 📈 Scaling up: To scale from having one ‘first-of-a-kind' project at investment to the next projects, we must apply the levers, adapting by industry and geography. 💲 Affordability: A high green premium in production makes low-carbon industry more affordable to consumers than we think. 🤝 Downstream collaboration: There’s a huge opportunity for downstream businesses to step in and contract green products, reducing their scope 3 emissions and driving production growth. 🌊 Ripple effect: Transformation in one sector drives costs down and accelerates the learning curve in others. 💪 Collective role: Everyone has a role in getting this done. Let's meet our 2030 targets together and move towards a sustainable future. #NetZero #Decarbonisation #Sustainability #IndustrialTransformation #MissionPossible

Recently ETC Director Ita Kettleborough and Systemiq Ltd. associate Wouter Vink discussed possible routes to reducing emissions in the cement industry with Sustainable Views of Financial Times.      Read the article on “Why solving cement’s emissions problem means moving beyond carbon capture” here: https://lnkd.in/gUQaXh3s   Find out more in Mission Possible Partnership’s report, Making Net-Zero Concrete and Cement Possible: https://lnkd.in/etrD2C35  

Rich in natural resources and with important access to renewable energy sources, Brazil has great potential to become a pioneer in the global transition to clean energy. Mission Possible Partnership (MPP) is announcing today a new and exciting partnership between the Industrial Transition Accelerator (ITA) and Brazil’s Ministry of Development, Industry, Trade and Services (MDIC) to catalyse investments for the decarbonisation of high emitting sectors and the development of green industry in Brazil. The partnership with the Brazilian Government aims to support the country's sustainable growth agenda, contributing to the Ecological Transformation Plan and the Nova Indústria Brasil Plan, which aim to reduce emissions and develop sustainable industries of the future. The ITA Brazil Project Support Programme will identify and support large-scale industrial projects with the potential for deep decarbonisation, which can be progressed by #COP30, and should be operational in 2030. To kick off the programme, we have made public a call for Expressions of Interest (https://lnkd.in/eWiwnP_K) to invite private sector organisations that are interested and meet the requirements to participate in the initiative to make Brazil greener! #decarbonization #decarbonisation #sustainability #industry #greenindustry
