Heating the way forward - how to effectively decarbonize process heat

The world’s largest energy demand is for heat, primarily sourced from fossil fuels, which account for 40% of global carbon emissions.

This presents a major challenge for emission reduction and sustainable development, especially in the industrial sector, which accounts for 22% of total energy demand and is a significant CO2 emitter. The global demand for decarbonised industrial process heat is nearly 26,000 TWh annually.

But what seems to be overlooked is that this can be readily electrified today!

Kyoto Group CEO Camilla Nilsson and Commercial Director for Northern Europe Lars Martinussen assert in this white paper that electrifying heat represents the definitive path toward efficiently decarbonizing industrial process heat.
