industrial heat

“About 50 to 70% of all the heat used in the industrial sector right now could be electrified with commercially available technologies.”

“We see the path clear with what we're doing to decarbonize most of that within about 15 years, given the constraints on how fast wind and solar can be built, and there aren't meaningful production constraints on the brick materials that we use.”

“The race to scale is boilers everywhere. Just go replace that. That's something like 80% of industrial heat. It's more than that in the United States.”

“It's a quarter of all the coal, oil, and natural gas that we burn in the world is for industrial heat.”

“That's not to say somebody can't find a new design and a new application for industrial heat or something in the future, but it's likely to emerge, if at all, as a niche where you have strong sun, strong DNI, and some reason to have heat rather than just elect…”

“A little more than half of all the world's industrial heat is delivered as steam because steam is wonderful, energy-dense, easy to move around.”

“A quarter of all the fuel we burn in the world is for industrial heat.”
