Did you know that a sea change in innovation is occurring, and not just in artificial intelligence? Responsible innovation is happening—driven by climate change.

  • The social pressure for clean manufacturing and energy efficiency will increase substantially. Organizations will have to implement their stated vision and become purpose driven. This means they will have to actively support decarbonization.
  • The need for high-power clean energy will cause significant changes in the way the electrical grid operates. A surge of innovation in intelligent energy use will occur. Industrial decarbonization powered by electricity is expected to lead the way toward sustainability. Large battery storage systems will become ubiquitous.
  • The most accessible sector to decarbonize is the industrial sector, a fact that will gain immediate social concern. Typical industries that emit CO2 are general heat treaters, materials manufacturing, drying, cement, fuel, chemicals, and others. They account for 30% of global CO2 emissions.
  • These industries will begin the switch to electric and electrochemical methods to dramatically reduce CO2 emissions. The most likely scenario is the use of Airtorch® or MightySteam® decarbonization technologies.
  • The transportation and cutting tools sector will look for new ways to reduce the coefficient of friction without messy lubricants. When used instead of fossil-fuel heaters, electric heaters eliminate GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions with rapid payback periods because of their increased efficiency and life.  Even in cases where there is a higher energy payment (cost) penalty, the improved energy efficiency of electric heaters has a decisive financial advantage.
