Scaling up Best Available Techniques (BAT) for green industrial transformation

OnlineNov 10, 2026 | 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM

Description

Industrial activities are essential to economic development, but they also contribute to CO2 emissions, pollution and the consumption of natural resources. How can countries make industrial production cleaner, more efficient and more sustainable? Best Available Techniques (BAT) are a key enabler of green industrialisation and the transition to a low-carbon economy. They encompass effective and economically viable technologies and practices that provide a basis for setting evidence-based environmental conditions to protect human health and the environment while improving industrial performance. Their adoption can help industries improve energy and material efficiency, reduce emissions, waste and costs, and strengthen productivity and regulatory compliance. These benefits can also support industrial competitiveness and access to international markets and sustainable finance. This session will explore how BAT can accelerate industrial decarbonisation in sectors such as steel, cement and textiles, as well as in emerging areas including hydrogen and waste recovery. It will highlight practical approaches to scaling up BAT adoption through policies, permitting and investment strategies.
