Nine leading industrial clusters in China Indonesia Japan Spain and the United States have joined the World Economic Forum initiative Transitioning Industrial Clusters towards Net Zero to help industries reduce emissions. The initiative is supported by Accenture NYSE ACN and EPRI. The latest members were announced today at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2023. Launched in 2021 the initiative focuses on reducing heavy industry asset emissions in regional industrial zones while supporting job creation and increasing economic competitiveness. Industrial clusters account for 15-20 of global CO2 emissions making them an attractive target for emission reductions. Industries in the same general location benefit not only from sharing risk infrastructure and natural resources but also from a united approach to tackle decarbonization along with workforce transformation and environmental justice. The latest members of the initiative are Andalusian Green Hydrogen Valley with projects in Palos de la Frontera Huelva and San Roque Cdiz Spain it aims to implement the largest green hydrogen project in Andalusia that offers a solid electricity grid abundant low-cost renewable production high industrial consumption and good connections by road rail air and maritime transport.Canary Islands Industrial Cluster Spain seeks to become a hub for sustainable aviation and clean shipping by using the islands significant solar and wind energy generation.Greater St Louis and Illinois Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub Industrial Cluster U.S. is a diverse group of industry business and community groups and academic institutions collaborating to decarbonize the regional industrial sector and foster production and end-uses of hydrogen.Indo-Pacific Net-zero Battery-Materials Consortium INBC in Indonesia is a cooperation to secure low-carbon battery materials from Indonesia to the gigafactories in the UK and to launch the leading net zero industrial park in Sulawesi Indonesia.Jababeka Net-Zero Industrial Cluster in Cikarang Indonesia includes various industries and is the first publicly listed industrial cluster which will focus on rooftop solar panels biomass co-firing as a renewable substitute organic waste management circular manufacturing electric mobility and hydrogen solutions.Kawasaki Carbon Neutral Industrial Complex Japan with petroleum and chemicals at its core as well as steel and electric power industries is pursuing hydrogen deployment carbon recycling and the use of regional energy optimization.National Capital Hydrogen Center U.S. helps to accelerate the clean energy transition of the Washington D.C.
