Industrial Electrification Technologies Propel Carbon Reduction Initiatives on Path to 2050 Net-Zero Targets – ResearchAndMarkets.com
DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The 
The global industrial sector is responsible for nearly 30% of carbon emissions annually. To achieve carbon reduction targets, demand is increasing for the electrification of key manufacturing processes. Focus is currently on achieving direct electrification, which involves replacing fossil fuels used in various industrial processes with technologies that can operate on electricity. With rising renewable energy share in national grids, direct electrification is set to offer significant carbon reduction potential.
In addition to reducing the industrial carbon footprint, electrification is likely to play a main role in reducing reliance on price-volatile fossil fuels, bringing down long-term production costs as renewable energy gets cheaper and supports automation and energy optimization efforts in manufacturing centers.
Global efforts to reach the 2050 net-zero carbon emissions targets and to reduce the impact of pollution in industrial centers, as well as consumers’ growing awareness of and demand for sustainable and ethical products, are driving electrification initiatives across the manufacturing sector. Even though challenges remain, such as the reliability of electricity supply and high upfront costs, the global manufacturing ecosystem is set to undergo profound changes as enabling technologies mature and achieve economies of scale.
