Dit betreft het produceren van alle consumentengoederen. De industrie bestaat uit veel verschillende sectoren. Voor wat betreft de uitstoot van broeikasgassen (BKG's) zijn de belangrijkste hiervan de papier, cement, staal, aluminium en chemische sectoren. Om emissies van de industrie te reduceren is het noodzakelijk om de levensduur van producten te verlengen en consumptie te reduceren.

In fact, methane emissions from industry are as strong as emissions from agriculture because of fugitive emissions (natural gas leaks from pipelines). This is a point that is little known, so this relationship is not considered strongly relevant. Industry also emits HFCs (refrigerants).
