➡️ Today’s #investment decisions determine industrial emissions well beyond 2050. Well-designed support schemes can give industry the certainty required to scale electric technologies that already reduce emissions, even in more carbon-intensive power systems.

Support flexible and hybrid solutions to shift operations towards hours when electricity is both cheap and clean. This will avoid short-term emission increases and deliver cost savings.

Accelerate renewable energy deployment to ensure electricity becomes cleaner and more affordable as demand rises. 5/x

Electric boilers and furnaces show similar results, except for a very few countries still relying on a carbon-intensive electricity mix.

🎯 To design robust industrial decarbonisation support schemes three principles stand out:

Prioritise #electrification where efficiency gains are highest, notably for low and medium-temperature heat via heat pumps – while recognising that higher temperature electrification is viable in most EU countries. 4/x
