The industrial sector is responsible for nearly a quarter of U.S. climate pollution. 12% comes from manufacturing, most of which is from burning fuel to make heat.
An engineering analysis of low- and medium-temperature process heat across the U.S. chemicals, pulp & paper, and food & beverage sectors.

Read the report →We turn engineering and policy analysis into practical roadmaps for decarbonizing industrial heat.
Our engineering archetypes show how policy can accelerate clean technology adoption across different industries. We turn this analysis into state-level reports that quantify the impact of industrial electrification on pollution, community health, and facility costs.
Five-page technical archetype overviews documenting process energy use and clean-heat electrification opportunities across key industrial subsectors, organized by NAICS code.
