Breweries and other industrial facilities that require low-temperature sources of heat could slash energy use and emissions by switching to heat pumps or other efficient electric heating sources.
Industry is often seen as one of the hardest sectors of the economy to decarbonise. One reason is that lots of industrial processes require very high temperatures that are expensive to achieve without burning fossil fuels. Making cement, for instance, requires heating limestone above 1500°C; steel furnaces require even higher temperatures.
But…
