Whether producing foods, beverages, drugs, metals or paper or treating surfaces and textiles, industrial companies need process heat for many applications. Much of this is still generated by burning fossil fuels. Consequently, the generation of process heat accounts for a large proportion of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the global industrial sector. In Switzerland, it is responsible for some 8% of total GHG emissions.
