Are you ready to join 300+ leaders from the most energy intensive industries to address urgent challenges in industrial decarbonization?  

It’s no secret that the industrial sector is racing against time. Projects have until 2033 to begin construction under the 45Q tax credit. As the cost of low- carbon technologies rise, and ongoing regulatory uncertainty and infrastructure gaps, forming the right partnerships has never been more critical.  

At Decarb Connect North America 2025, our goal is simple, we gather all the essential stakeholders in the ecosystem to tackle the most pressing challenges and explore new opportunities in industrial decarbonization. Based on extensive research with decarbonization leaders in steel, cement, chemicals, glass and other hard to abate sectors as well as those delivering real-time projects, the event is laser focused on the issues that really matter and showcasing case-studies that demonstrate what is possible.
