Hard to Abate Sectors

In series 5, episode 5 of Good Things Happen, host Alex Miller is joined by Irina Gorbounova, Vice President M&A and Head of XCarb Innovation Fund, ArcelorMittal, and Liz Curmi, Global Thematic Analyst, Citi Global Insights, to discuss hard to abate industries, and share their insights on decarbonization and how the world progresses to net zero in this space.

Irina Gorbounova outlines key opportunities for the steel industry, including the potential to reduce carbon emissions and address climate change, and for cross-industry collaboration and partnerships to accelerate low-carbon solutions.

Liz Curmi highlights the progress that the steel, cement, and shipping sectors have made in decarbonizing, spurred by government support and legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act.

Our guests express cautious optimism for opportunities and progress, but they acknowledge the significant work required to decarbonize these industries, recognising the challenges but importance of the journey ahead.
