Industrial Decarbonization: Cement, Steel & Chemicals
Decarbonise the sectors that cannot simply switch off.
The executive challenge
The problem this program solves
The sustainability report describes ambition the operations cannot verify: industrial decarbonization commitments made in good faith and defended with estimated data. Disclosure without data is not conservative; it is a liability that grows with every round of scrutiny. The programme teaches the executive craft of industrial decarbonization: materiality that survives audit, capital that understands the claims, and governance that owns the number.

- Defend a industrial decarbonization position before investors, lenders and communities.
The IPAT Course Standard
The five-day journey
Each day is a deliberate progression in managerial capability — from strategic context, to analytical frameworks, to applied practice, to executive judgement under pressure, to a capstone that produces something your organisation keeps.
IPAT Signature Case™
The Border Tax on Your Best Customer
A mini-grid developer exports a third of its output to Europe. Carbon border rules and a customer’s net-zero mandate threaten the largest contract — and the industrial decarbonization data required to prove compliance does not yet exist in the supply chain.
Your decision: Fund the supplier data programme, pivot the market, or risk the contract — each with different costs and credibility.
IPAT Data Lab™
A a regional bank must build its first defensible carbon inventory — and find the levers that matter.
Dataset: Synthetic emissions, energy and operations data for a regional bank.
Your task: Build the inventory, identify reduction levers, and model the cost and payback of each.
A GHG inventory and abatement decision dashboard.
Data → Analysis → Decision, not Data → Code → Certificate
