43 billion in FIDs for low carbon industrial projects is a real number. Would like to see the breakdown by sector though. Green steel vs hydrogen vs chemicals all have very different timelines.

Agreed. The Mission Possible data is usually solid but the paywalled article leaves out the sector split. Clean fuel projects tend to move faster than industrial heat retrofits.

Doubling is impressive but 43bn across all clean industrial projects globally is still small relative to fossil capex. Question is how many of these FIDs actually reach COD without delays.

Fair point. The policy backdrop matters a lot here. IRA and CBAM are driving some of this. If those hold, the pipeline keeps growing. If not, we might see a slowdown in 2027.
