Decarbonizing the Hard-to-Abate Sector
Decarbonization of high-emission industries is crucial, as these sectors contribute significantly to global emissions yet receive minimal investment.

The key challenge lies in aligning the available types of capital, such as venture, growth, and infrastructure, with the needs of capital-intensive projects focused on emissions reduction.
