Electrifying Industrial Heat: A Trillion Euro Opportunity Hiding in Plain Sight
![](https://ambientasgr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Electrification-1.png)
Industrial heat is largely invisible to consumers but represents about 20% of global final energy demand and 10% of the world’s CO2 emissions. That is 2.5 times more than air and maritime transportation emissions combined and not far off those of road transportation. Switching from fossil-based heating systems to those directly powered by renewable electricity in industry can eliminate 100% of CO2 and air pollutants emissions and reduce primary energy demand by up to 70%.
