Unleashing the Potential of Industrial Clusters 2025

Mobilizing co-located companies Support the cluster model for co-located companies, thereby optimizing opportunities for scale, sharing of risk/ resources, aggregation and optimization of demand. Strengthening existing clusters and partnerships across the value chain Enhance collaboration among co-located stakeholders and players across the entire clean energy value chain – spanning energy supply and distribution, heavy industry, transport and logistics – to effectively manage the green premium.Connecting clusters into a global network Support the expansion of cluster networks to establish a global clean energy infrastructure model and facilitate a more interconnected world. Call to action Successfully transitioning industrial clusters requires four core components: 1) a balanced focus on economic, social and environmental value; 2) consideration and adoption of technologies and processes that support GHG emissions reduction; 3) cross-sector collaboration among industry, government, financiers, labour and communities; and 4) coordinated, agile strategies across partnership, policy, financing and technology deployment. Together, these elements form the foundation for a sustainable and scalable energy transition for hard-to-abate sectors. To achieve this, the Forum welcomes action by leaders from government, professional, industry, academic and R&D organizations, supported by Forum initiatives such as TIC and the First Movers Coalition (FMC), to build a global community on the successful deployment of infrastructure for clean energy, with a focus on three areas: Package Centre Börnicke Image credit: DHL Unleashing the Full Potential of Industrial Clusters: Infrastructure Solutions for Clean Energies 5
