Fuel shares refer only to energy demand of the sector. Deployment of synthetic fuels is not represented in these pathways.

Decarbonising the industry sector
In 2019, industry was the second largest emitting sector after the power sector, accounting for 18% of total emissions – including energy and process emissions but excluding LULUCF.1 Industry accounts for 31% of the total final energy consumption and 33% of electricity consumption.2
Across 1.5°C pathways, energy-related industry CO2 emissions fall 37-66% below 2019 levels by 2040. The Deep Electrification pathway best captures the rapid cost reductions seen in renewables and thus accounts for their speedier integration into the energy mix. According to this pathway, Bangladesh’s industry sector would see the strongest near-term reductions in energy-related CO2 through energy efficiency measures and increasing electrification. Following this pathway would allow electricity use in industries to reach 48% in 2030, up from 34% in 2019.
Improving energy efficiency could be key to reducing industrial emissions in Bangladesh, leading to cost savings, reduced emissions, increased competitiveness, and enhanced energy security. In 2015, the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources launched the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Master Plan up to 2030. This plan aims to reduce the sector’s energy consumption by 20%, leading to around a 10.5% reduction in total energy consumption.3

Fuel share provided refers to energy demand only from the industry sector. BECCS are the only Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) technologies considered in these benchmarks.
Direct CO₂ emissions only are considered (see power sector analysis, hydrogen and heat emissions are not considered here). All values are rounded. Year of full decarbonisation is based on carbon intenstiy threshold of 5gCO₂/MJ.
