TPR's Industrial Innovation Climate Action Standard (TPR-IICAS)
The Planet Reserve’s Industrial Innovation Climate Action Standard (TPR-IICAS) confronts a critical global challenge: substantial greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across a diverse array of industrial sectors. This all-encompassing standard targets major contributors like the iron and steel, oil and gas, cement, petrochemicals, building, aluminum, and textiles industries. However, its strategic framework is designed to be adaptable and applicable across the broader industrial spectrum, facilitating significant emission reductions wherever industrial activities occur.
Objective and Comprehensive Strategy
TPR-IICAS is committed to supporting the global mandate set by the Paris Agreement to limit the rise in global temperatures to well below 2 degrees Celsius. This is achieved by implementing actionable, ambitious strategies tailored not only to high-emission sectors but also adaptable to various industrial contexts. Key objectives of the standard include:
O2
Enhancing Technology Transfer
Facilitating the swift transfer of advanced, climate-responsive technologies within and between industries, ensuring that sustainable solutions reach all sectors.
O3
Streamlining Climate-Smart Licensing and Transfer
Simplifying the processes for adopting new technologies to enable faster, broader implementation of emissions-reducing innovations.
O4
Improving Financial Accessibility for Green Technologies
Addressing financial barriers that hinder the adoption of sustainable technologies, highlighting investment opportunities and economic benefits of environmental responsibility.
O5
Expanding Recognition of 'Additional' Carbon Mitigation Efforts
Incentivizing industries to undertake voluntary carbon reduction actions beyond compliance through recognition and crediting, fostering a culture of continuous environmental improvement.
TPR-IICAS White Papers
The TPR-IICAS white papers are meticulously crafted to address the critical challenge of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across major industrial sectors. The TPR-IICAS white papers address GHG emissions in major industrial sectors by setting industry-specific standards and benchmarks, promoting the adoption of low-GHG technologies, facilitating the transfer of climate-responsive innovations, improving financial accessibility for green technologies, and using granular benchmarks and holistic life cycle assessments (LCAs) to target emission hotspots. TPR-IICAS white papers cover the following industries:
- Oil and Gas
- Building Sector
- Petrochemicals
- Textiles
- Iron and Steel
- Aluminium
- Cement

Granular and Holistic Approaches to Emission Reduction
To effectively reduce emissions, TPR-IICAS employs:
Granular Approach: Analyzing and setting emissions benchmarks at individual process levels within industries, allowing for precise targeting and improvements in emission hotspots.
Holistic Approach: Conduct emissions assessments throughout the production process to minimize environmental impacts. Optimize the value chain from extraction to delivery using advanced technologies and best practices for improved sustainability.
Driving Industry Transformation
Adopting TPR-IICAS aligns industries with global climate goals and enhances operational efficiency and competitiveness. By setting a path toward sustainability, industries can meet increasing consumer and regulatory demands for environmentally responsible practices.
Industries across the spectrum, committed to making significant environmental impacts, are invited to adopt TPR-IICAS. This standard offers robust tools and comprehensive guidance for achieving substantial GHG reductions and advancing toward a sustainable industrial future.
