About the event

The industrial sector is a cornerstone of the U.S. economy, employing over 12 million workers across nearly 300,000 facilities. It is also a major contributor to air pollution, accounting for roughly 23% of the total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions and 34% of global emissions.

CATF has developed a new report, informed by analysis from Synapse Energy Economics, that highlights technologies and state-level policies to modernize four key industries – cement, iron and steel, chemicals, and petroleum refining. Advancing low-emission industry enables pollution reductions while strengthening American manufacturing, boosting competitiveness, and creating high-quality local jobs. This webinar will summarize opportunities in these industries and present state-level policy pathways from the report.

Given ongoing uncertainty around federal investment, state leadership in the industrial sector is more important than ever. This report provides states with a toolkit to tailor technologies and policies to their unique economic contexts and industrial bases. States can utilize policy tools, such as financial incentives, market-based mechanisms, and regulatory approaches, that can effectively drive low-emission industry across political environments.

Please join us for the fourth installment of CATF’s 2025 State Policy Webinar Series, where attendees will hear from Clean Air Task Force experts on state opportunities for industrial decarbonization.
