Demand and Supply Measures for the Steel and Cement Transition Executive summary
The seeds for producing and using near-zero emissions materials have been planted, but acceleration is needed The industry sector requires a massive scale-up of markets for transformative near-zero emissions materials to contribute to the achievement of internationally-agreed government objectives for net zero emissions. Such scale-up requires the production and use of these materials to grow from essentially zero today to capture nearly the entire market within the next few decades, shifting away from high-emissions conventional production and demand. The steel and cement sectors account for 14% of global energy and process-related emissions on…

National Energy Strategy (SEN) 2017 - coal phase-out
…GW, offset by strong growth in renewable energy and a plan for infrastructure interventions (flexible generation, networks and storage systems). Despite a slowdown in the process linked to the 2021-2022 energy crisis and temporary maximization of production made necessary by the energy crisis following the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the phase-out is confirmed within the limits of security of supply needs and provided that replacement plants and the necessary infrastructure are built in time. The actions already implemented and planned are adequate to allow the phase-out of coal-fired power plants still in operation on the Continent. For…
