Decarbonising Heavy Industry: Adria Responsible Carbon Industries Alliance

The region’s hardest sectors to decarbonise, working on it together rather than separately.

4 sectors

steel, cement, fertiliser and energy

4 markets

producers signed the expression of interest at the 2026 Summit

2027 ministerial conference

the alliance is working towards one at the next Summit

Overview

The Adria Responsible Carbon Industries Alliance brings together companies from carbon-intensive industry, including steel, cement, fertiliser and energy, to work on decarbonisation. It was launched with an expression of interest signed at the 2026 Summit by producers from four markets.

Approach

The alliance convened as a dedicated strand at the 2026 edition. These are the sectors where the transition is hardest and where a single producer acting alone carries a competitive penalty, which is the argument for doing it as an alliance.

Impact

The alliance is working towards a ministerial-level conference at Summit 2027, and is supported between Summits through the Adria Future Foundation.
