Industry Energy Demand And Costs Keep Growing. Clean Energy Can Help

AI generated summary

New Belgium Brewing in Colorado is striving for carbon neutrality by 2030, prompting a shift in their beer production methods. Traditionally reliant on natural gas for steam generation, the brewery has turned to AtmosZero, which offers industrial electric boilers that utilize clean electricity instead of fossil fuels. This transition not only stabilizes energy costs but also aligns with a broader trend in the industrial sector, which has seen a 70% increase in energy demand since 2000.

The industrial sector, encompassing everything from steel and cement to beverages, is the largest global energy consumer and a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. As manufacturers face increasing pressure to produce cleaner products, many are adopting electric technologies to replace fossil fuels. This shift, known as industrial electrification, is essential for maintaining competitiveness in a market that values sustainability. While challenges remain, the potential for all-electric technologies to meet industrial heat needs without sacrificing performance is promising, paving the way for a cleaner and healthier manufacturing future.
