Industrial process heat uses thermal energy to produce, treat or alter manufactured goods. According to the 2018 Manufacturing Energy and Carbon Footprint Analysis1 process heating accounts for about 50% of all onsite energy use and 30% of greenhouse gas emissions. Process heating systems are emission-intensive because fossil fuel combustion provides 95% of industrial heat across the manufacturing sector. Process heating electrification is a way to drive a wide range of industrial and manufacturing processes by using electricity rather than fossil fuel combustion. Electrification of process heating, such as electromagnetic heating technologies can reduce energy losses by delivering heat directly into the target material. Electrification can also help reduce maintenance cost and increase machine life due to less wear and tear.
