AbstractThis perspective aims to enhance understanding of industrial decarbonization strategies (e.g., carbon capture, utilization, and storage [CCUS] and hydrogen) at industrial hubs. We provide a comparative analysis of policy landscapes for the three different net-zero industrial hub projects and conclude by proposing considerations for designing green industrial policies for other regions that need deep decarbonization for their ‘hard-to-abate’ sectors.
