Industry cleans up its carbon act LOCAL industry is on track to almost halve the pace of growth of its carbon emissions over the next seven years, with improved techniques partly compensating for the expected growth of sectors such as LNG production, coalmining and alumina refining. This means that while industrial activity accounts for the most greenhouse gas emissions, the rate of growth over that period would be reduced from 37 per cent to 20 per cent, "if recent trends in abatement activity are sustained."
