Summary/Abstract
This Roadmap explores the challenge of industrial heat decarbonizati?on. It is intended to be an initial?, “1.0” analysis of the topic. The report discusses four technological approaches for providing low-carbon industrial heat: hydrogen, biomass, electrification? and CCUS. It examines decarbonizing heat production in the cement, iron and steel, and chemical industries. The report then provides policy options, an innovation? agenda, and presents a series of recommendations.
This roadmap was prepared to facilitate dialogue at the Sixth Innovation for Cool Earth Forum (Tokyo October 2019), for final release at COP-25 (Madrid December 2019).
