Study 48a – Publication of lessons learnt on electrification / public summary

Electrification is a key driver of decarbonisation for the industrial sector, particularly in France, where the electricity mix is largely decarbonised. Solutions exist and are ready to be implemented. However, despite this significant potential, projects are still struggling to get off the ground.

To help overcome these barriers, the ALLICE Alliance has published five project factsheets which analyse lessons learnt from electrification initiatives in a range of energy-intensive sectors: metallurgy, textiles, construction, glass, and tiles and bricks. To facilitate the roll-out of electrification, each project is analysed in terms of its replicability.

Having published a forward-looking public report in 2022 on the potential for electrification of industrial thermal processes, the ALLICE Alliance is publishing project factsheets in 2025 aimed at making electrification initiatives within the industrial sector concrete and replicable.
These factsheets aim to demonstrate that electrification is feasible in a wide variety of scenarios, even within energy-intensive sectors.
