The great collapse of European industry is not a fatality | Strategic Perspectives

Europe’s industrial decline is not inevitable, but reflects decades of deindustrialisation, weakened strategic autonomy, and growing dependence on external actors for energy, manufacturing, critical technologies, and defence. At the same time, the transition to net-zero emissions offers a major opportunity to rebuild Europe’s industrial base through clean technologies, renewable energy, electrification, green hydrogen, and low-carbon value chains.

Zero-pollution, decarbonisation, and circular economy in energy-intensive industries

This briefing presents key air pollutant trends and projections for energy-intensive industries in Europe. It also discusses greenhouse gas (GHG) emission trends over the past two decades. It outlines technology pathways and opportunities for industrial transformation related to zero pollution, decarbonisation and circularity in the context of the Clean Industrial Deal (CID).
