Industrial decarbonization - Requirements and guidelines for sectoral transition plans
Abstract
This document specifies the requirements and recommendations relative to the construction of a sectoral transition plan for industry decarbonization. This document does not specify the requirements for the construction of a roadmap of single industrial company's transition plan (a plant or a group), however a sectoral transition plan can be used as a reference in an entity transition plan This document is intended to be used by organizations, including national and public bodies, trade associations, federations, companies and NGOs that wish to establish or monitor sectoral decarbonization plans. This document is climate-programme neutral. If a climate programme is applicable, requirements of this programme are additional to the requirement of this document. This document does not address legal and other obligations relating to climate action. In this document, either natural or technological sequestrations occur inside the geographical and sectoral boundaries considered in the sectoral transition plan. Otherwise, they are excluded. In this document, considering its energy consumptions and its cost, the direct air capture and storage technology (DACS) is not considered relevant and is excluded from the sectoral transition plan. Carbon offsets are excluded from this document. NOTE Carbon offsets are intended as be understood as "Emissions reduction or removal resulting from an action outside the geographical and sectoral boundary used to counterbalance the sector's residual emissions".
