Industrial decarbonization - Requirements and guidelines for sectoral transition plans

Edition date: 2025-10-15
In Force
Available languages: German, English
Summary: 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. 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 consumption 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”.

Le présent document spécifie les exigences et les recommandations relatives à l’élaboration d’un plan de transition sectoriel pour la décarbonation de l’industrie. En revanche, il ne spécifie pas les exigences relatives à l’élaboration d’une feuille de route associée au plan de transition d’une société industrielle précise (une installation industrielle ou un groupe). Néanmoins, un plan de transition sectoriel peut être utilisé comme référence dans le cadre du plan de transition d’une entité. Le présent document a vocation à être utilisé par les organismes, y compris les organismes publics et nationaux, les associations professionnelles, les fédérations, les sociétés et les ONG, qui souhaitent établir ou surveiller des plans de décarbonation sectoriels. Le présent document est neutre vis à vis des programmes relatifs au climat. Si un programme relatif au climat est applicable, les exigences de ce programme s’ajoutent à celles du présent document. Dans le présent document, les solutions naturelles ou technologiques de séquestration sont mises en œuvre au sein du périmètre géographique et sectoriel étudié dans le plan de transition sectoriel. Dans le cas contraire, elles sont exclues. Dans le présent document, au vu de sa consommation d’énergie et de son coût, la technologie de captage direct dans l’air et de stockage du dioxyde de carbone (CDASC ou DACS en anglais) n’est pas considérée comme pertinente et est exclue du plan de transition sectoriel. La compensation carbone est aussi exclue du présent document. NOTE La compensation carbone s’entend comme « la réduction ou la suppression des émissions résultant d’une action en dehors du périmètre géographique et sectoriel utilisée pour contrebalancer les émissions résiduelles du secteur ».

Dieses Dokument legt die Anforderungen und Empfehlungen für die Erstellung eines sektoralen Übergangsplans für die Dekarbonisierung der Industrie fest. Dieses Dokument legt zwar nicht die Anforderungen für die Erstellung einer Roadmap für den Übergangsplan eines einzelnen Industrieunternehmens (eines Werks oder eines Konzerns) fest, jedoch kann ein sektoraler Übergangsplan als Referenz in einem Übergangsplan für eine Unternehmenseinheit verwendet werden. Dieses Dokument ist dafür vorgesehen, von Organisationen einschließlich nationaler und öffentlicher Stellen, Wirtschaftsverbänden, Vereinigungen, Unternehmen und Nichtregierungsorganisationen genutzt zu werden, die sektorale Dekarbonisierungspläne aufstellen oder überwachen wollen. Dieses Dokument ist unabhängig von Klimaprogrammen. Wenn ein Klimaprogramm anwendbar ist, gelten die Anforderungen dieses Programms zusätzlich zu den Anforderungen dieses Dokuments. In diesem Dokument werden sowohl natürliche als auch technologische Kohlenstoffbindungen betrachtet, die innerhalb der geografischen und sektoralen Grenzen des sektoralen Übergangsplans auftreten. Andernfalls sind sie ausgeschlossen. In diesem Dokument wird die Technologie der direkten Abscheidung und Speicherung von Kohlenstoffdioxid aus der Luft (DACS, en: direct air capture and storage) unter Berücksichtigung ihres Energieverbrauchs und ihrer Kosten als nicht relevant betrachtet und aus dem sektoralen Übergangsplan ausgeschlossen. THG-Verrechnungen (en: carbon offsets) sind von diesem Dokument ausgeschlossen. ANMERKUNG THG-Verrechnungen sind als Emissionsreduktion oder entzug zu verstehen, die aus einer Maßnahme außerhalb der geografischen und sektoralen Grenzen resultiert und dazu dient, die Restemissionen des Sektors auszugleichen.
