Spain Can Reduce Industrial Sector Emissions by 15% Through Electrification
Electrifying Spain's industrial sector could cut CO2 emissions by 15%, reduce energy consumption, and enhance factory efficiency. A report by Global Efficiency Intelligence and Industrial Electrification Center, in collaboration with Fundación Renovables and ECODES, highlights this potential. The Spanish industrial sector, responsible for 22% of national energy consumption, relies heavily on fossil fuels. Electrification solutions include replacing fossil fuel-based industrial boilers with electric boilers or heat pumps, and directly substituting fossil technologies with electric ones. This could save 27 TWh of energy annually and reduce CO2 emissions by 15 million tons by 2050. Policies and incentives are needed to drive this transition.
