Session description
Industry emits 31% of the GHG emissions and uses significant amounts of fossil fuel-based feedstocks. Close to 2/3 of industrial emissions come from only four sectors: iron & steel, cement, chemicals (incl. plastics & fertilisers), and refineries. In 2019 transformation losses in industry amounted to around 1,300 TWh. The electrification of processes is the easiest and most cost-effective way for industry to decarbonise provided the electricity is sourced from renewables. With existing technologies industry could electrify 72% of its useful energy demand (excluding energy products needed in for feedstocks). Technologies such as compression heat pumps, mechanical vapor recompression and various wave-based heating technologies are available today. Others like e-cracking still need more R&I focus. But it’s not only about technology. The regulatory framework is key. This panel will look at the challenges and opportunities for the renewable-based electrification of industry; discuss existing solutions initiatives that are helping the sector move towards a climate neutral economy.
