Industrial heat transition: electrification across cement, steel, pulp and energy
Join VTT and industry experts to explore how electrification is transforming high‑temperature industrial processes. Discover practical pathways to replace fossil fuels, reduce emissions and unlock new value across key sectors.
About the webinar
High‑temperature industrial processes remain one of the most challenging areas to decarbonise. Many core industries still rely on fossil fuels to reach temperatures exceeding 1000°C, resulting in significant carbon emissions.
Electrification offers a viable and increasingly scalable alternative. By replacing combustion with electricity, industries can reduce emissions, improve energy efficiency and integrate renewable energy sources into their operations.
In this webinar, VTT experts and industry partners will share insights into how electrification can be applied in practice across cement, steel, pulp and paper, and the energy sector. You will learn how technologies such as resistive heating, plasma heating and hybrid solutions are enabling the transition towards fossil‑free industrial heat. We will also discuss real‑world examples, emerging solutions and what it takes to move from pilot to industrial scale.
