\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAccelerating Industries\u2019 Climate Response in Sri Lanka<\/em> is a five-year initiative designed to help the country\u2019s industrial sector transition to a low-carbon future. The project was launched in mid-2022. It is led by the Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Industry and Ministry of Power and Energy, implemented by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization and funded by the European Union under the Global Climate Change Alliance+.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Sri Lanka has great potential to reduce its carbon footprint while building energy security and a modern economy based on sustainable fuels. The country\u2019s growing industrial sector plays a key role in this. On the one hand, this sector provides income for 30 per cent of the nation\u2019s workforce and delivers the second highest share of GDP. On the other hand, industries are one of the largest consumers of the country’s fossil fuel-based energy.<\/p>\n

In 2019 imported fossil fuels supplied more than half of Sri Lanka\u2019s energy demand. Industry consumed about 15 per cent of all oil products and 33 per cent of electricity. Supporting the industrial sector to shift away from fossil fuels and become more sustainable will future proof this critical part of the economy.<\/p>\n

To get there we are pursuing five key pillars of industrial decarbonization.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
