Net Zero Charter
Talking about net zero is easy; committing to it is harder. Universities, institutes and companies sign the Net Zero Charter at IAAM Week and commit to measurable targets — and report back on them, year after year.
Where it began
IAAM adopted the Stockholm Net Zero Charter on 18 August 2025, at the 65th Advanced Materials Congress in Stockholm, and launched the Net Zero Technology Consortium the same day. Its 2030 goal: shared standards across 50+ countries and a 50% cut in emissions intensity compared with 2025.
What signatories commit to
Set targets in at least one area: hydrogen, decarbonisation, carbon capture or the circular economy
Report progress each year at IAAM Week
Share results and lessons with other signatories
Tracks
Six tracks of talks and discussions on the green transition run alongside the Charter:
Green Hydrogen & Power-to-X: electrolysers, hydrogen storage and turning clean power into fuels and chemicals
Carbon Capture, Utilisation & Storage: capturing CO₂ and turning it into useful products
Solar & Renewable Energy Materials: next-generation solar cells, storage and clean power systems
Circular Materials & Critical Metals: recycling, recovery of critical raw materials and closing the loop
Bio-based Materials & Waste to Value: biochar, bio-sourced nanomaterials and turning waste into products
Green Transition: Policy, Standards & Investment: measuring progress, shared standards and financing the move to net zero
