The coronavirus continues to drastically change the basic conditions for economic and social life throughout the world. Whereas long-term effects remain uncertain, the crisis and the response to the crisis will have implications for the energy intensive industries which strive to transition towards net-zero emissions in line with the Paris Agreement. This workshop aims to strengthen the collaboration between experts on industrial decarbonization during these trying times and offers you an interactive platform where potential solutions can be identified, challenged and refined.
