Industrial Electrification: Will Electrons Beat Molecules?

Industrial processes account for around one-fifth of global CO2 emissions. Displacing combustion of fossil fuels with electricity could result in massive emissions reductions, with some estimates suggesting that existing electrification technologies could half industrial emissions. Yet, progress is held back by high CAPEX and OPEX costs, difficulty obtaining grid infrastructure, and other challenges.
Please join us in learning how start-ups are innovating to tackle some of the key challenges and opportunities in:
- High-temperature environments (>1000c) that encompass some of the most polluting industries, such as steel and cement production
_ - Medium-temperature environments (200-800c) that encompass many chemical production processes
_ - Low-temperature environments (>200c), the easiest to decarbonize space, that includes most food and beverage processes
