Electrification of high-temperature industrial processes
In Danish
Replace fossil gas heating with electric solutions - and obtain a documented basis for decision-making regarding technology selection, investment, and implementation.
Electrification of industrial high-temperature processes involves transitioning from fossil gas heating to electric heating technologies such as resistive, inductive, and infrared heating. The goal is to reduce CO2 emissions from energy-intensive production processes while maintaining or improving operational efficiency and product quality.
Danish Technological Institute assists industrial enterprises throughout the entire process - from process analysis and technology testing to implementation and techno-economic documentation. We enable you to make well-founded decisions regarding electrification, so that both climate and business objectives can be realized.
How can Danish Technological Institute help you?
- Testing and documentation of electric heating technologies: access to advanced laboratory facilities for testing resistive, inductive, and infrared heating under controlled conditions.
- Process analysis and consultancy on electrification: identification of potentials, energy savings, and transition options in your current processes.
- Development and adaptation of electric heating solutions: design, customization, and integration of tailored systems into production, regardless of process and temperature requirements.
- Hybrid solutions: combining traditional fossil heating with electric technologies for optimal operational reliability and flexibility during the transition period.
- Integration and optimization: ensuring efficient interplay between new heating technology and existing production equipment, as well as documenting product quality.
- Techno-economic analyses: calculation of investment, payback period, and operating costs, enabling you to assess the financial feasibility of electrification.
- Research and development (R&D): contributing to the development of new processes or materials in synergy with electric heating technologies.
Why is electrification of industrial heating relevant now?
In heavy industry, gas heating remains the dominant method for high-temperature processes. However, decarbonization demands are increasing - driven by climate targets, legislation, and customer expectations for sustainable manufacturing.
Electrification provides the opportunity to significantly reduce CO2 emissions, particularly when electricity is sourced from renewable energy. At the same time, electric heating technologies can often deliver better process control, faster heating times, and lower heat losses than conventional gas heating.
For many companies, the question is no longer if, but when and how electrification should occur - and this is precisely where a solid decision-making foundation based on testing and analysis creates value.
