The business case for electrifying industrial heat

Electric low-temperature industrial heat can already outcompete fossil gas in Europe. Electrifying low- and medium-temperature process heat – around half of industrial heat demand – can strengthen energy security, cut emissions and support competitiveness using mature technologies such as heat pumps and electric boilers. This study, which builds on case studies from Germany, Italy and Poland, examines the economic, emissions and energy security potential of this shift.

    In 2025, 34 Mt of low carbon steel projects had been announced in Europe, with 25 Mt already moving forward, from permitting, final investment decision, and construction phases.  

    📈 This is good news for two reasons: The entire potential demand for high-grade near zero emissions steel products needed by the automotive industry by 2035 could be met, and Europe remains a frontrunner in near-zero emissions capable steel plants.  3/x

    💡 In a new comment, Agora experts Ysanne Choksey and Julian Somers explore how the automotive sector can stimulate market signals driving demand for near zero emission steel production in Europe.  

    🎯 In short: The automotive sector requires around 15 Mt of primarily flat and high-quality steel each year – and there are enough low-carbon steel projects in the pipeline to meet this demand. 2/x
