Today, Reuters Events is proud to announce our partnership with The Metal Packager ahead of our upcoming flagship meeting for the hard-to-abate industries – Industry Transition 2022 (September 28-29, San Diego). Leaders across multiple verticals such as mining, metals, materials, transport as well as government officials will share operational, investment and portfolio options they have used to set an actionable climate strategy and ambitious targets.

Notable speakers confirmed so far include C-suite executives from Rio Tinto, Chevron, Schnitzer Steel, Baker Hughes, Kabanga Nickle, Sempra and others.

The timing of Reuters Events: Industry Transition on 28-29 September 2022 is important since COP26 brought to light the realities of climate change. Heavy industry accounts for 30% of global CO₂ emissions, so their decarbonisation is a huge step in the right direction for becoming a carbon neutral world. The hard-to-abate sectors need to sharply reduce emissions in order to stay profitable, secure investment and achieve net zero targets.

Don’t get left behind.  With estimates that half the world’s fossil fuel assets could become worthless by 2036, re-strategising how heavy industry is fueled is hot on industry executive’s agendas. Get ahead of competitors by driving innovation to discover what will fuel net zero industry. There’s now more pressure than ever to make your business sustainable. Reuters Events: Industry Transition 2022 will provide your business with unique expert insight and tools to relieve this pressure and get ahead of competitors.
