Today, around 80% of industrial process heating applications source their energy from fossil fuels. This makes process heating by far the largest contributor to industrial carbon emissions. WBCSD is releasing a Solar Thermal Navigator Brief to raise awareness of solar thermal as a renewable heating solution. This document highlights the technology’s benefits, limitations, key parameters […]
Decarbonizing heat generation and use in industries represents a major challenge in the energy transition. Heat accounts for most of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions for industrial businesses in sectors such as food and beverage, paper and pulp, fast-moving consumer goods, and chemicals. In 2021, the way we generated and used heat was responsible […]
Renewable electricity procurement: blazing a trail from innovation to leadership
A new report from WBCSD and DNV, a leading decarbonization advisory firm, calls on companies to move their manufacturing operations away from fossil fuels toward electrification by seizing the opportunity provided by heat pumps.
This report presents how key market and policy trends are significantly improving the business case for electrification in general and heat pumps specifically.
While companies are making important progress in sourcing renewable electricity for their operations, decarbonizing heat use is their next big challenge – especially for industrial companies.
In efforts to reach net-zero emissions by 2050 and combat the climate crisis, many companies have made progress in decarbonizing their electricity use.
The top G20 markets for industrials seeking to decarbonize their low-to medium- temperature heat are China, France, Italy, Germany, South Korea and the U.K., according to a new report by BloombergNEF and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development
Demand for industrial products has risen considerably in the past two decades, along with energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
