About This Event

Decarbonizing the heaviest emitting industrial sectors — from aviation and shipping to cement, chemicals, and steel — is critical to minimize the impacts of climate change, but doing so will involve deploying new innovations more quickly than we have in the past and pose unique challenges for project developers. RMI’s webinar “Tools for the Energy Transition: Project Development Resources for Decarbonizing Heavy Industry” uncovers current trends and challenges in the industrial decarbonization space, describes our suite of resources to address some of the biggest challenges to technology implementers and explains how they can be used by project developers and startups to reach commercial deployment and final investment decision (FID) more quickly.

We explore the external factors impacting industrial decarbonization projects such as policy/public incentives, community engagement, and investor relations. During the webinar, two project developers will share the challenges they’ve encountered in mobilizing industrial decarbonization projects, and RMI speakers Jane Sadler, Hadia Sheerazi, and Shravan Bhat will each present a demo of a tool from RMI’s resource suite. Demonstrations include the Decarbonizing Industry Resource Tool (DIRT), Stakeholder Analysis and Mapping Tool (SAM), and the Industrial Decarbonization Investor database.

For those who deploy earlier stage industrial decarbonization technology, we share how you can apply to Third Derivative’s Industrial Innovation Cohorts which offers targeted support for startups working on innovations for cement and concrete, iron and steel, or chemicals and plastics industries.

Join us for open discussion about how to advance industrial decarbonization projects in the United States and globally.

This event is hosted by RMI, the Mission Possible Partnership, and Third Derivative.

RMI and the Mission Possible Partnership are accelerating industrial and heavy transportation decarbonization in clean industrial hubs. Clean industrial hubs bring together policymakers, financial institutions, project developers, and community-based organizations to enable groundbreaking decarbonization projects in the hardest-to-abate sectors. This work is done in partnership with the Bezos Earth Fund.

Overcoming Three Finance Dilemmas for US SAF Producers in 2024

According to project finance experts, US-based sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) producers will face three main dilemmas when financing commercial-scale projects in 2024: what feedstock to use, whether to get government loan guarantees, and how to de-risk operations.
