Heat Pumps Are Coming for Coal's Industrial Heat Market
A new report argues that industrial-scale heat pumps are becoming competitive with coal for supplying process heat in factories, potentially displacing coal in a major segment of industrial energy demand. The analysis suggests electrification of low- and medium-temperature heat is advancing faster than many industry observers expected, with cost and efficiency gains driving the shift.
Why now: Industrial heat is one of the largest remaining sources of coal demand and emissions, so its potential electrification has major climate and market implications.
