Clean industry is emerging as a strategic advantage – strengthening supply chains, driving competitiveness and unlocking the next wave of growth.
Momentum is building and the biggest gains come when technology, policy, capital and markets align.
Clean Industry Facts
The age of clean industry is now.
Investment is flowing faster than ever as innovative technology, industrial policy and investment increasingly align.19 clean industry projects reached FID in the six months to May 2026 – more than double the rate a year earlier. Clean industry projects are now in development in more than 70 countries.

Fossil fuel dependence has become a strategic liability and standing still carries a real cost.
Energy and commodity shocks have fed directly into food, transport and industrial costs, exposing fossil fuel vulnerabilities and reinforcing the importance of resilient supply chains. The World Bank forecasts energy prices to rise 24% in 2026, the biggest jump since the 2022 Ukraine crisis. Emerging economies most exposed are acting: Brazil signed its Profert law using contracts for difference to support domestic green fertiliser production and cut reliance on imports, India concluded its first competitive reverse auctions for domestic use of green ammonia in fertiliser production and Türkiye’s first Climate Law is establishing a domestic carbon market.

The opportunity is vast and under-recognised.
Clean industry represents $4.7tn potential investment globally – $1.5tn directly into industrial production assets, and a further $3.2tn in the renewable energy and storage needed to power them. Each FID reached triggers demand for clean energy provision, infrastructure, equipment and pulls in technology suppliers, energy developers, commodity traders and financiers.

Industrial power is shifting.
China’s rapid scale-up demonstrates how coordinated industrial strategy can accelerate strategic advantage, shaping the rules and supply chains of the new industrial revolution. China accounts for 45% of all FIDs to date and 68% of new FIDs in the last six months, and supplies over 80% of the world’s clean energy equipment for industry projects. But there are other leaders emerging: the New Industrial Sunbelt’s pipeline is developing fast, with the number of planned projects in India growing 30% this year.

A framework of solutions can drive year-on-year acceleration in the years ahead.
Deploying solutions that have proven their impact can move clean industry from tens to hundreds of projects financed each year, with decisive action from leaders to unlock and move at scale – through dependable demand, reliable energy access, coordinated supply chains, clean trade connectivity, durable community value, and catalytic capital.

As the pace of clean industry increases and more projects become investable, new bright spots emerge.
By shining a light on these examples, we can identify best practices and share lessons to replicate success and accelerate the flow of investment into clean industry.
These examples help us shift perception from “too early”, “too difficult”, “too expensive” to “more secure”, “more resilient” and “already happening”.
