greenhouse gas emissions come from industry. To achieve net-zero economy-wide emissions by 2050 and limit global warming, industrial emissions must drop while still meeting societal needs. Energy efficiency can reduce energy inputs and lower cost differences between electricity and natural gas. Contributors.
