Electrification is the key lever to decarbonise industry.
But why is take-up so low (3-4%) when it comes to process heat?
It’s because of the many barriers standing in the way. Here’s how we can break through them.

Or is nuclear renewable because our uranium reserves (including oceans and granite) will last us longer than human habitability in this orbit)
The price for fossil fuels must increase dramatically❗️
Nuclear <1000°
Purple hydrogen*>1000°
*and white hydrogen if we are lucky.
Big question here is how do we get good end-use data? The references are pretty thin. I suspect a lot of process heat in these estimates are iron, steel, and cement, that's more a chemical problem than a heat temperature problem. Also, isn't there a lot of steam?
