About this Training Course
Hard-to-abate industries such as steel, cement, chemicals, refining, aviation, and shipping represent a significant share of global greenhouse gas emissions and face structural challenges in achieving deep decarbonisation. Unlike other sectors, these industries require a combination of technologies, infrastructure, and systemic changes to reduce emissions while maintaining competitiveness.
This 3-day training provides a comprehensive and practical understanding of carbon management strategies across these sectors, covering the full range of decarbonisation levers including energy efficiency, electrification, fuel switching, hydrogen, and carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS). The course is based on real-world project evidence and derived from cross-project benchmarking across multiple industries and regions, including Asia-Pacific and Europe.
Participants will gain a system-level understanding of how different decarbonisation pathways perform in practice, including their technical feasibility, cost implications, infrastructure requirements, and deployment constraints. The training bridges high-level strategy with sector-specific insights, enabling participants to assess and compare decarbonisation options across industries.

- Intermediate
The training will be delivered through a blend of instructor-led lectures that provide structured technical and commercial insights, supported by real-world case studies derived from cross-project benchmarking. Participants will engage in interactive group discussions to apply concepts to practical industrial scenarios, alongside scenario modelling sessions that enable real-time evaluation of costs and trade-offs. The course also incorporates quantitative exercises to compare technologies and assess cost implications, complemented by open discussions and Q&A sessions to reinforce understanding and encourage knowledge sharing.
