Free Report: Capturing the Benefit's of Industrial Decarbonization for Houston and Beyond

Download this Free Report by RMI, Houston Energy Transition Initiative & Mission Possible Partnership. This study focuses on facility-level strategies to tackle Scope 1 emissions from heavy industry within a10-county region encompassing greater Houston. It maps major emissions sources and volume to begin identifying opportunities for and a potential sequence of reduction. The study reviews Scope 2 emissions impacts associated with the increased power needs of electrification as a decarbonization pathway but
does not otherwise consider the region’s Scope 2 emissions.
