Meeting a 1.5°C climate goal
Over half of industrial sector emissions come from fossil fuel combustion to generate process heat. Decarbonizing industrial process heat, and overcoming the many technological, market, and policy barriers that prevent companies from decarbonizing heat, is essential.
More and more governments and companies are committed to climate action across the global economy. They are examining and implementing various decarbonization tools with governments offering new policy incentives, and investment in RD&D, and renewable energy generation accelerating across renewable thermal energy solutions. Among these solutions, hydrogen1 has a critical role to play in decarbonizing industrial process heat. The industrial sector often needs high heat for production. Green hydrogen, made from electrolysis powered by renewable energy, is a strong candidate to decarbonize high-heat industrial processes, such as manufacturing steel, chemicals, and cement.
