Report says renewables and storage could supply a third of U.S. industrial heat
Key Takeaways
- A Berkeley analysis says off-grid renewable systems could meet up to one-third of U.S. industrial heat demand by 2035.
- The report modeled more than 3,000 industrial sites using site-specific renewable resource data.
- Heat pumps were identified as the most cost-effective option for low-temperature processes, while thermal batteries looked competitive for high-temperature heat.
- The paper has not been peer reviewed, and real-world deployment would still require substantial planning and development.
