dc.description.abstractThis research paper delves into "Decarbonization Strategies in Energy-Intensive Industries: Cases from Canada, the United States, and Africa." Against escalating global concerns about climate change, energy-intensive industries stand at the forefront of environmental impact, necessitating urgent and effective decarbonization measures. Through a comprehensive analysis, this study aims to unravel the diverse strategies employed in three distinct regions—Canada, the United States, and Africa—each marked by unique economic, social, and environmental contexts. The exploration begins with an in-depth examination of the current landscape of decarbonization strategies, encompassing technological innovations, policy and regulatory frameworks, and market-based approaches. A comparative analysis uncovers commonalities and distinct challenges across the selected regions, shedding light on the nuanced dynamics of sustainable industrial development. Barriers such as economic viability, technological adoption challenges, and socioeconomic impacts are scrutinized alongside enablers like government leadership, technological innovation, and sustainable finance. The paper outlines prospects for decarbonization, envisioning advancements in green technologies, the integration of circular economy principles, and the evolution of resilient energy systems. Grounded in these prospects, strategic recommendations are proposed, emphasizing the need for holistic policy frameworks, publicprivate collaboration, incentivizing sustainable finance, investing in research and development, and embracing a just transition approach. In conclusion, this research contributes a holistic understanding of the complex interplay between strategies, challenges, and prospects in the pursuit of decarbonization in energy-intensive industries. The insights garnered provide a blueprint for policymakers, industry leaders, and stakeholders to navigate the intricate path toward a sustainable and resilient industrial future.en_US
