The gradual electrification of industry and its relation to variable renewable electricity generation
For industry, the primary path towards decarbonization is electrification, preferably using renewable sources. In this report, we looked at using opportunity demand for industrial heating, i.e. heat supply that is capable of switching between gas boilers and electric boilers depending on the price difference between natural gas and electricity.
