Electrification is key for industries and infrastructure
Industrial decarbonization implies switching away from fossil fuels. Energy-intensive industries, like oil and gas, chemicals, glass and steel, cement, where direct greenhouse gas emissions levels are the highest, can reap the greatest benefits. Yet, even lighter industries, from life sciences to food and beverage, have plenty to gain.
The fastest and most impactful way to decarbonize is to electrify processes and assets. 78% of the energy used in the industry is not electrified while between 30 to 100% could be today. Industrial electrification is critical for industries to stay competitive, meet regulatory requirements, and reduce their carbon footprint.
