As industry transition is becoming an increasingly important and complex topic for energy and climate, governments, sectors, and companies are encouraged to produce roadmaps to reflect upon their strategies. The work within the IETS TCP has included a reviewing of existing roadmaps and interviewing industry experts to collect their experience regarding this type of exercise. Based on this, experiences with industry roadmap methodologies and developments will be discussed in this session.
