different industries, it can be concluded that there is little consensus on how deep decarbonisation of the
EII will be achieved. In this paper, a review of pathway and roadmap publications and scientific literature
is presented. This permits to identify key areas for emission abatement across all subsectors. Results
show significant discrepancies in the literature regarding the expected emission reductions achievable,
but permit us to identify areas that are key for the transition towards a low-emission EII: the decar-
