Electrification is key

Why electrification of industrial heating will be crucial to the European Green Deal

The European Green Deal commits the EU to carbon neutrality by 2050 and policymakers want industry to ‘pave the way’ with a transition towards net zero emissions for a cleaner, healthier future. Hosting leaders from the worlds of industry, innovation, science, government and investment, Sustainable Industrial Manufacturing (SIM) in Belgium will provide an opportunity for those at the frontier of cleaner manufacturing to present sustainable solutions to business leaders from across five hard-to-abate sectors.

At the conference, Dilip Chandrasekaran, Business Development Manager Steel at Kanthal at Kanthal, will do a speech on how electrification of heating processes will play a vital role in the industry’s quest of reaching carbon neutrality.

“Energy efficient heat processing will be crucial in meeting the challenges of a growing global population and combating climate change, often setting demands on higher operating temperatures and/or reduced cooling”, says Chandrasekaran. “While current heating technology is predominantly gas-fired, electric heating processes offer unique opportunities to reduce use of fossil fuels while increasing thermal efficiencies and potentially improving work environments”.

You can attend the presentation in Hall 10 Theatre on Tuesday 28th June 14:30-14:45.
