Renewable Solutions for Energy Intensive Industry

The Colloquium on Renewable Solutions for Energy Intensive Industry will provide an overview of renewable technologies for electricity and process heat commercially available and currently under development. The colloquium will host presentations from universities, research institutes and energy supply companies. Presentations from industry on renewable energy applications are also invited.

Global agreements to aim for less than 2°C global warming requires CO2 emissions to achieve net zero by 2060. Energy intensive industries are often criticized for lack of emissions reductions. In addition, carbon tax and its implications for industry necessitates an evaluation of alternatives to fossil fuel use. This colloquium strives to have an open discussion on the technologies available, the barriers to their implementation and how to overcome them.
