“Industrial heat is a critical input in many processes that the chemical industry depends on. It is also a large source of emissions, with fuel combustion accounting for three quarters of the sector’s CO2 emissions, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). In fact, it is one of the most underestimated problems we face in the fight against climate change – and a stumbling block in decarbonising industry and cutting fossil fuel dependencies.”
In this interview, Francisco Berdasco Balbuena, VP Supply Chain at ENERGYNEST, talks about the production and assembly of the ThermalBattery™, the implementation of sustainability standards and the measures to strengthen the resilience of the supply chain.
Thermal energy storage systems are revolutionising Industry 4.0, supporting flexible, efficient energy management in networked, digital factories. Discover how IoT and AI are setting new standards.
A recent study shows that the industrial heat transition is not only an ecological necessity, but also a real economic opportunity: In Germany, for example, a total of up to 21 billion euros could be saved annually in energy costs for the provision of process heat.
