IT'S TIME TO
DECARBONISE
INDUSTRIAL HEAT

ABOUT

OUR CHALLENGE

Decarbonisation targets are becoming clearer and ever closer for businesses - and society at large. However, current trajectories show industrial process heat remaining business-as-usual in terms of energy consumption and carbon intensity for the next 10 years.

This needs to change. And it can change with technologies already available today that can enable the electrification of industry and which deliver additional non-energy benefits.

SECTORS

TECHNOLOGIES

Industrial heat pumps

Heat pumps have the potential for broad application across industry, turning waste heat into useful heat and enabling the electrification of industry.

Thermal batteries

Thermal batteries can store waste and renewable heat for on-demand use, improving efficiency, reliability and maximising the benefits of on-site renewables.
