Heat represents two-thirds of all energy demand in the industrial sector, yet very little of this demand is met with renewable energy sources. A significant opportunity lies in decarbonizing the industrial sector by transitioning heat production away from carbon-intensive fossil fuels and towards cleaner alternatives such as electrification, where low- or zero-carbon electricity is utilized.
The infographic below highlights some general aspects of electrification in the industry sector. There is a substantial need for more research and analysis on electrification potential in different industry subsectors and electrification technology R&D for the manufacturing sector in different countries.
