Standards Development
This document specifies requirements and guidelines for establishing a roadmap aiming to reach a decarbonisation target for an industrial sector.
This document is intended to be used by any actors (federations, industrials, public actors…) regardless of their size, type, financial resources, location and the industrial sector considered, aiming to establish a sectoral decarbonisation roadmap.
This document does not concern the development of a roadmap for an individual industrial actor or group.
Steps:
- Roadmap framework definition (timeline, decarbonisation objective, etc.) ;
- Sectoral inventory;
- Modelling and definition of trajectories
- Action plan
Justification:
As industry represents around 20% of GHG emissions, it is at the centre of many discussions regarding ecological transition.
In France, the French National Low-carbon Strategy (SNBC) sets an ambitious climate objective for industry to contribute to carbon neutrality: to reduce by 81% its GHG emissions by 2050 compared to 2015. Many industrial sectoral roadmaps and companies’ commitments for transition have been published but without a governance or methodological baseline. This gap is questioning the credibility of those documents. A great number of initiatives (taxonomy, GFANZ, TCFD, IFRS ISSB, climate bond initiatives, Fédération Bancaire Française, …) works on establishing standards for Entity Transition Plans (ETP) compatible with 1.5°C or 2°C pathways in line with Paris Agreement. It seems relevant to assure the consistency of those ETP with Sectoral Transition Plans (STP), beforehand established with a common and recognised method.
Furthermore, the review of the European industrial strategy by the European Commission mentions the necessary development of transition plans for more resilient, digitalised and sustainable industrial ecosystems. Again, a common method shared between sectors would give credibility and would harmonise those transition plans. No standardised method is available for a STP which leads to differences in the exercises.
Purpose:
The intended standard framework to be developed aims to fill the gap exposed previously. The development of an EN is of particular importance to standardise practices, strengthen trust between STP’s stakeholders and the quality of the transition plan. This will facilitate the replicability of STPs and their dissemination. Indeed, CEN standardisation works are accessible to every actors or stakeholders and associate all the European countries. At the end, this subject could be proposed on an ISO-level.
Finally, a common method to develop a STP would facilitate an adequate answer from industrial actors 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.
