Industrial decarbonization - Requirements and guidelines for sectoral transition plans
This document specifies the requirements and recommendations relative to the construction of a sectoral transition plan for industry decarbonization.
This document does not specify the requirements for the construction of a roadmap of single industrial company’s transition plan (a plant or a group), however a sectoral transition plan can be used as a reference in an entity transition plan
This document is intended to be used by organizations, including national and public bodies, trade associations, federations, companies and NGOs that wish to establish or monitor sectoral decarbonization plans.
This document is climate-programme neutral. If a climate programme is applicable, requirements of this programme are additional to the requirement of this document.
This document does not address legal and other obligations relating to climate action.
In this document, either natural or technological sequestrations occur inside the geographical and sectoral boundaries considered in the sectoral transition plan. Otherwise, they are excluded.
In this document, considering its energy consumptions and its cost, the direct air capture and storage technology (DACS) is not considered relevant and is excluded from the sectoral transition plan.
Carbon offsets are excluded from this document.
NOTE Carbon offsets are intended as be understood as "Emissions reduction or removal resulting from an action outside the geographical and sectoral boundary used to counterbalance the sector’s residual emissions".
Industrielle Dekarbonisierung - Anforderungen und Leitlinien für sektorale Übergangspläne
Dieses Dokument legt die Anforderungen und Empfehlungen für die Erstellung eines sektoralen Übergangsplans für die Dekarbonisierung der Industrie fest.
Dieses Dokument spezifiziert zwar nicht die Anforderungen für die Erstellung eines Wegweisers für den Übergangsplan eines einzelnen Industrieunternehmens (eines Werks oder eines Konzerns), jedoch kann ein sektoraler Übergangsplan als Referenz in einem Übergangsplan für ein Unternehmen verwendet werden.
Dieses Dokument soll von Organisationen einschließlich nationaler und öffentlicher Stellen, Wirtschaftsverbänden, Vereinigungen, Unternehmen und Nichtregierungsorganisationen, genutzt werden, die sektorale Dekarbonisierungspläne aufstellen oder überwachen wollen.
Dieses Dokument ist klimaprogrammneutral. Wenn ein Klimaprogramm anwendbar ist, gelten die Anforderungen dieses Programms zusätzlich zu den Anforderungen dieses Dokuments.
Rechtliche und andere Pflichten im Hinblick auf Klimaschutzmaßnahmen werden in diesem Dokument nicht behandelt.
In diesem Dokument treten entweder natürliche oder technologische Sequestrationen innerhalb der geografischen und sektoralen Grenzen auf, die im sektoralen Übergangsplan betrachtet werden. Andernfalls sind sie ausgeschlossen.
In diesem Dokument wird die Technologie der direkten Abscheidung und Speicherung von Kohlenstoffdioxid aus der Luft (DACS) in Anbetracht ihres Energieverbrauchs und ihrer Kosten als nicht relevant betrachtet und aus dem sektoralen Übergangsplan ausgeschlossen.
CO2 Verrechnung ist von diesem Dokument ausgeschlossen.
ANMERKUNG CO2 Verrechnung ist als Emissionsreduktion oder entzug zu verstehen, die/der aus einer Maßnahme außerhalb der geografischen und sektoralen Grenzen resultiert und dazu dient, die Restemissionen des Sektors auszugleichen.

European foreword
This document (prEN 18074:2024) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 467 “Climate
Change”, the secretariat of which is held by UNI.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
Introduction
As industry represents around 20 % of GHG emissions [1], it is at the centre of many discussions
regarding a decarbonization transition.
Many industrial sectoral roadmaps and companies’ commitments for transition have been published but
without governance or methodological baseline. This gap is questioning the credibility of those
documents. A great number of initiatives work on establishing standards for entity transition plans (ETP)
compatible with 1,5°°C or 2°°C pathways in line with the Paris Agreement. It seems relevant to ensure
the consistency of entity transition plans with sectoral transition plans (STP), established with a common
and recognized method.
Furthermore, the review of the European industrial strategy by the European Commission in 2021
mentions the necessary development of transition plans for more resilient, digitalized and sustainable
industrial infrastructure and systems. Again, a common method shared between sectors would give
credibility and would harmonize those transition plans and strengthen its credibility among stakeholders
through better validation and verification. No standardized method is available yet for sectoral transition
plans which leads to differences in the exercises.
Finally, requirements and recommendations to develop a sectoral transition plan would facilitate an
adequate answer from industrial sectors to the carbon neutrality challenge. It would also question
sectoral transformation regarding all the value chains able to respond to a same use. Therefore,
production and consumption ways could be progressively transformed.
Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges that our world faces. Scientific assessments through
the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports have shown that many of the worst
consequences of climate change can be avoided by limiting global warming to 1,5 °C above pre-industrial
levels. Scenarios assessed by the IPCC indicate that limiting warming to 1,5 °C, with no or limited
temperature overshoot, requires achieving at least net zero global carbon dioxide (CO ) emissions in the
early 2050s, along with deep and sustained global reductions in other greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs)
[2] [3]. These scenarios also show that the earlier and faster emission reductions occur, the lower peak
warming and the lower the likelihood of overshooting warming limits.
This document should be interpreted and used in line with its purpose and scope to promote the highest
possible climate ambition.
The 2015 Paris Agreement [4] states the importance of achieving a global balance between human-
caused emissions by sources and human-led removals by sinks in the second half of the 21st century,
taking into account varying capabilities in different parts of the world, on the basis of equity, and in the
context of sustainable development and efforts to eradicate poverty. This document therefore includes
recommendations on just transition (more details available in Annex B).
The results of a sectoral transition plan include:
— a sectoral inventory as defined in 5.1;
— several decarbonization scenarios composed of several decarbonization trajectories including a
technological and a market pathway and investment planning;
— an action plan for the implementation of the scenarios exposed before.
This document aims to help an organization to elaborate a credible, qualitative, and ambitious sectoral
transition plan.
This document aims to fill the gap exposed previously. The development of an EN is of particular
importance to standardize practices, strengthen trust between sectoral transition plan’s interested
parties and guarantee the quality of the transition plan. It will facilitate the replica
