About the event

As part of the Clean Industrial Deal (CID) published in early 2025, the Industrial Decarbonisation Accelerator Act (IDAA) aims to help European energy-intensive industries continue to decarbonise while maintaining their competitiveness internationally.

Advancing lead markets in key industrial sectors such as cement, steel, fertilisers, and chemicals is key to ensuring Europe reaches its climate goals while maintaining economic resiliency and production of essential goods in Europe. By advancing lead markets in the IDAA, the CID can successfully achieve the dual objectives of climate neutrality and competitiveness.

This event brings together perspectives from the Zero Emissions Platform (ZEP), Yara, one of Europe’s leading fertiliser producers, and Heidelberg Materials, a global leader in building materials and solutions, to explore how lead markets can become engines of industrial transformation, as well as the advancement of CO₂ infrastructure in Europe.
